Materials and products tested, checked and measured by Fonderie Ariotti
Quality control in a specialised laboratory
We have invested a lot into creating a metallurgic laboratory capable of conducting specific, accurate checks of all products. Thanks to the modern instrumentation used by our specialist technicians, the Fonderie Ariotti laboratory is today a centre for the technical and cultural diffusion of the knowledge and skills we have gained over the years.
We decided to set it up on the same floor as our offices to stimulate collaboration between colleagues and to speed up the passage of information to all production departments.

CMM (Zeiss) measuring machine for high precision measurements
Installed in a controlled temperature environment, it is one of the largest and most accurate machines on the market. It enables us to stand out in the sector, allowing for an exceptionally accurate measurement of large and complex-sized components. We certify our finished products with a two-place decimal precision and we constantly verify through daily controls the geometries of our machine tools to guarantee the highest quality performance.
