IQL specializes in machine tool performance analysis and manufacturing process improvement. The company’s focus is diagnosing and resolving the most challenging feature tolerance issues by measuring and analyzing machine tool behavior. Over time, we have developed a comprehensive knowledge base of machine performance and specific design behavior that is used as the foundation to guide all of our support activities.
IQL offers a variety of machine tool measurement products, evaluation and calibration services, as well as training courses for all levels of engineering and manufacturing personnel. With more than twenty years of experience, IQL is the preferred resource of manufacturers wishing to create and sustain “First Part Correct” manufacturing processes.
