The inventor of the Laser Tracker is partnering with the full-service machine tool distributor to offer diverse metrology hardware and services in Texas.
Ft. Worth, TX– Dimensional Metrology pioneer and inventor of the Laser Tracker, API, has announced their partnership with Prosper Machine Tool, a family-owned machine tool distributor, to provide premium metrology services in Texas.
While some of the most essential work in Aerospace, Defense, and Oil & Gas manufacturing continues to expand throughout Texas, supply of critical dimensional metrology equipment and services often lags behind demand. To bring hands-on customer service to these underserved industries, API and Prosper Machine Tool are bringing together their application expertise, customer service, and world-class equipment.
API Metrology and Prosper offer a combined ten decades of dedicated experience in portable Laser Tracker metrology. This partnership unites API Metrology’s state-of-the-art dimensional Metrology equipment, including Radian Laser Tracker Series and XD Laser Interferometer, and Prosper’s history of solution-based metrology services. Prosper also offers a full service and parts department that handles installations, parts and any repairs needed.
“API not only has the best equipment available, but they have a history of putting experts in the field to provide customer support, and that fits with Prosper’s values,” says Greg Kinney, President of Prosper Machine Tools. “Our number one goal is to be a consistent help to our customers by providing complete sales, service, parts and engineering services. And with API included in our portfolio, we can execute that goal to an even higher level.”
“Prosper has been the experts in Texas for several decades now,” says Chris Baker, API’s North American General Manager of Product Sales. “They understand the pain points that customers have, and their motto of ‘Yes, we can serve you!’ is the same mindset as API’s ‘Nothing Beyond Measure’. We’re both all about making sure our customers have the measurement system they need in place.”
API’s equipment is available for demonstration and purchase and service support through Prosper effective immediately.
