At Milton Keynes Pressings Ltd (MKP), precision and quality are central to everything we do.
Quality Systems.
Our dedicated metrology and inspection department ensures that every component we manufacture — from complex pressings to welded assemblies — meets the most exacting customer and industry standards.
With a combination of advanced CMM equipment, digital inspection tools, and experienced quality engineers, we guarantee full dimensional accuracy, traceability, and repeatability across all production processes.
Advanced Measurement Technology
MKP’s inspection facilities are equipped with the latest technology to perform high-accuracy measurement and verification.
Core Capabilities:
- Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM): Fully programmable CNC CMMs for 3D inspection and automated measurement.
- Digital Height Gauges and Surface Plates: For first-off and in-process checks.
- Optical & Vision Measurement Systems: Non-contact verification of complex geometries.
- Profile Projectors & Surface Roughness Testing.
- Portable Measuring Arms: On-machine and on-site dimensional checks
Our metrology suite is climate-controlled to maintain stable conditions for micron-level precision, ensuring consistent and repeatable results.
Dimensional Reporting & Documentation.
We provide detailed dimensional inspection reports tailored to customer and industry requirements.
Reporting Options Include:
- First Article Inspection Reports (FAIR).
- Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation.
- Statistical Process Control (SPC) data.
- Gauge R&R and measurement system analysis.
- In-process and final inspection certificates
Every measurement is recorded, traceable, and reviewed as part of our IATF 16949 & ISO 9001 quality management system, giving customers full confidence in part conformity.
CMM Inspection Expertise.
Our CMM operators are fully trained in CAD model-based measurement, allowing direct comparison between design intent and physical part geometry.
Using advanced software, we can inspect components directly from 3D CAD data and provide digital measurement reports that highlight deviations, tolerances, and quality trends.
CMM inspection supports:
- Complex metal pressings and fabricated assemblies.
- Tooling, jigs, and fixtures.
- Machined and EDM components.
- Prototype validation and production quality audits.
In-Process and Final Inspection.
Quality at MKP is embedded throughout the manufacturing process — not just at the end.
Quality Control Throughout Production:
- Operator self-inspection with calibrated gauges and fixtures.
- Random and scheduled sampling.
- 100% inspection for critical dimensions.
- Final CMM verification before shipment
This layered approach ensures early detection of variation, minimal rework, and consistent part quality.
ISO-Certified Quality Systems.
Milton Keynes Pressings operates under an ISO 9001:2015 Certified Quality Management System, with additional compliance to customer-specific and automotive standards.
We work to:
- PPAP / APQP procedures for OEM customers.
- IATF 16949 and VDA 6.3.
- Continuous improvement (Kaizen & 8D problem-solving).
Calibration of all measuring equipment is controlled under our instrument management system, ensuring traceability to UKAS or national standards.
