Welcome to IQL

Making Machine Tools More Accurate

IQL works with leading manufacturers, improving the most challenging manufacturing processes. We are an engineering services and systems resource that focuses on improving manufacturing processes by understanding and improving machine tool positioning performance. IQL has one of the world’s most comprehensive knowledge bases of actual machine performance and specific design behavior. Applying this extensive knowledge base allows us to focus our support activities on only those machine attributes that have the greatest impact on part quality and to provide our customers with the most cost effective solutions for improving their processes.

We continue to build upon our technical expertise by actively contributing to the development of national and global standards for the characterization of machine tools and inspection equipment: ASME B5.54 (Machining Centers), ASME B5.57 (Lathes & Turning Centers), ISO 230 (Metal Cutting Machine Tools) and ASME B89.1.12 (Coordinate Measuring Machines).
