Mahr Federal, Inc., has signed a multi-year sponsorship agreement with Joe Gibbs Racing, two-time winner of NASCAR’s Winston Cup Championship, company officials recently announced. Under the terms of the agreement, Mahr will install a number of its dimensional metrology systems at the JGR Race Shop headquarters in Huntersville, North Carolina, providing its expertise in precision measurement in return for numerous promotional opportunities.
"Metrology is a relatively new concept in NASCAR racing which we believe can provide a tremendous technological advantage," says Craig Crossley, president of Mahr Federal. Equipment provided by Mahr includes some of the world’s most advanced systems for the measurement of part dimension and geometry. Mahr has also made available their complete line of precision gages, from micrometers to high-performance length products.
The use of Mahr metrology equipment has already provided JGR with a number of benefits for incoming part inspection. According to team owner, Joe Gibbs, "We now consider all parts bad until the Mahr equipment tells us otherwise."
Advanced systems supplied by Mahr include: the Mahrform MMQ 44, a modular CNC system for measuring roundness; a Mahr Perthometer concept surface finish and contour measuring system; an 828 PC length measuring machine; and Mahr’s latest multisensor system incorporating laser, optical, and tactile probe measurement. The final test on the floor is to use the Primar MX4, a sophisticated system for the inspection of form and geometry on complex part shapes such as gears and crankshafts.
Mahr Federal–a member of the Mahr Group, and headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island–is known worldwide for its expertise in providing dimensional measurement solutions.
