82 www.CNC-West.com CNC WEST April/May 2019 New Products New NIMS Inspection Solution —Verisurf Verisurf Software announced its NIMS Precision Part Inspection (PPI) Solution, a turn-key quality inspection and reporting solution in support of the National Institute of Metalwork- ing Skills (NIMS), certification testing process. The measurement, inspection and reporting solution allows instruc- tors to check students test parts right in the classroom, lab or shop in minutes, and includes all software, hardware and programming. The new Verisurf solution is the result of a nationwide pilot program conducted in 2018 designed to develop and validate a process and toolset to improve the ability of NIMS Certified instructors to inspect and report on NIMS Level 1 (L1) Mill and Lathe test- ing parts. The pilot program proved to reduce the time required to verify ma- chined test parts submitted by students fromweeks or even months to minutes. The Verisurf NIMS PPI Solution is based on the concept of keeping the quality verification of machined test parts within the class room and in the control of NIMS Certified instructors. The Verisurf Solution also takes into consideration deployment in an educa- tion environment, ideal measurement performance matched to the NIMS part tolerances, safety, small footprint, reliability, single phase power and no need for compressed air. The Verisurf NIMS PPI Solution includes comprehensive online training hosted by Immerse2Learn, a platform widely used by educators and indus- trial trainers alike to develop skilled workers in fields such as engineering, manufacturing, and automation. Until now, schools offering NIMS Certification training were required to send out all their student’s machined test parts to be inspected and evaluated by a NIMS sanctioned Met-Tec review committee. The process often takes one month or more, holding up the students final NIMS Certification.
