Coordinate Measuring Machine Calibration Equipment

We build the most extensive line of C. M. M. Calibration equipment in the industry. We have calibration artifacts for the smallest and the largest C. M. M. machines. Bal-tec artifacts are capable of accurately calibrating submicron laboratory machines to shop floor machines.
