Used Inspection & Metrology Equipment for Sale

Meadoworks offers used laboratory and test equipment for quality control and R&D applications. Our inventory includes coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), optical comparators, hardness testers, surface finish analyzers, dimensional gages, and inspection equipment. We stock CMMs from Zeiss, Brown & Sharpe, Mitutoyo, Sheffield, LK, and other metrology leaders. Find touch-probe and scanning CMMs, bridge and gantry configurations, and various accuracy classes. Laboratory equipment is essential for maintaining quality standards and process control. Each listing includes specifications for measuring volume, accuracy, probe system, and software capabilities. Whether you need a CMM for incoming inspection, in-process measurement, or final quality verification, Meadoworks can help you find the right solution. Contact us to discuss your measurement requirements and accuracy needs.

These are the ranges our own auction results show:

Inspection equipment — Typical range: $140–$810.

Gages — Typical range: $200–$350.

Laboratory and test equipment — Typical range: $270–$4,560.

CMMs and newer measuring systems run higher. What moves the price — accuracy class, software and probe system, calibration status and age. Call Meadoworks at 800-323-0307 for a range.

Calibration — the last certificate and whether it can be recalibrated.

Software and probes — license, version and whether the probe system is still supported.

Mechanics — air bearings, granite and ways free of damage.

Environment — what temperature and vibration control it needs where you install it.

Start from the feature and the tolerance you have to prove. A bridge CMM covers prismatic parts in three axes; an optical comparator or vision system suits flat profiles and small parts; hardness testers, surface finish gages and height gages answer one question each, quickly.

Size the measuring volume to your largest part plus its fixture, and pick an accuracy class a step better than the tolerance you report. Then check that the software and probes are still supported and that your room can hold the temperature the machine is rated for — that decides the real accuracy more than the brochure does.

Used inspection and test equipment serves incoming inspection, first-article and in-process checks, final inspection and the quality lab in machine shops, molders, stampers and fabricators — automotive, aerospace, medical device and general industrial work where a part has to be measured and documented before it ships.
