Heritage and Technical Evolution of Willrich Precision Instrument Company Since 1971

Established in 1971 by Richard G. Chitos and William T. Sheely in New Jersey, Willrich Precision Instrument Company, Inc. began with a singular focus on delivering high-precision measuring equipment and metrology solutions to manufacturing industries.

Over five decades of continuous technological development, the company has grown into a trusted authority across dimensional gaging, custom inspection fixtures, and coordinate measurement systems.

The firm supports precision metalworking facilities, aerospace contractors, automotive assembly plants, and medical device manufacturers with comprehensive measurement tooling and engineering guidance.

Design and Manufacturing of Custom Inspection Fixtures and Modular Workholding

Willrich Precision provides custom gaging solutions and modular component workholding systems tailored for repetitive manufacturing inspection.

By utilizing standardized high-rigidity tooling subplates combined with modular locators, testing stations can be rapidly adapted to intricate machined components, turbine airfoils, and hydraulic bodies.

Engineered clamping elements prevent structural deflection of thin-walled workpieces during coordinate measurement runs. All locating blocks and alignment pins undergo rigorous heat treatment and precision grinding to ensure long-term geometric integrity under demanding shopfloor conditions.

Coordinate Measuring Machine Probes, Styli and Sensor Components for Industrial Inspection

To maximize coordinate measuring machine capability, Willrich supplies an extensive portfolio of touch-trigger probes, articulating probe heads, extensions, and interchangeable styli.

Probe spherical tips are crafted from industrial ruby and silicon nitride, providing exceptional sphericity and wear endurance without risk of material pickup on non-ferrous alloys.

Styli stems are fabricated from lightweight carbon-fiber composites and ceramic materials, maintaining thermal stability and straightness over long extension lengths. Standardized threaded connections facilitate rapid interchangeability and precise multi-axis configuration.

Pneumatic Air Gaging Technology for High-Resolution Non-Contact Bore Measurement

Willrich air gaging solutions represent an optimal engineering approach for inspecting tight-tolerance bores and cylindrical components with sub-micron precision.

Operating on the principle of differential airflow and backpressure variations between measuring nozzles and workpiece surfaces, this non-destructive method eliminates physical contact abrasion on mirror-finished hydraulic sleeves and precision bushings.

The continuous flow of clean air simultaneously purges the inspection bore of residual dust and machining coolant, while digital column displays deliver immediate graphical readouts of roundness, taper, and diameter deviations.

Precision Thread Plug and Ring Gages Conforming to International Metrology Standards

The thread inspection tooling range manufactured by Willrich encompasses Go and No Go thread plug members and external thread rings covering metric, unified, pipe, and aerospace profiles.

Fabricated from premium alloy tool steels subjected to sub-zero stabilizing treatments, these gages prevent microstructural drift and dimensional distortion over years of active service.

Precision-ground flank profiles undergo strict verification of pitch diameter, lead, and included angle, ensuring dependable thread interchangeability in critical high-reliability mechanical assemblies.

Engineering Selection Protocol for Metrology Tooling and Measurement Spares by Nameplate

To streamline procurement and ensure exact dimensional compatibility of Willrich Precision measuring instruments and sensor spares, our engineering department applies a structured nameplate verification protocol.

Clients provide photographs of equipment nameplates, probe markings, or part numbers from technical manuals. When selecting custom fixturing or special gaging, component blueprints with dimensional tolerances and geometric requirements are thoroughly analyzed.

Comprehensive technical documentation allows our team to supply exact Willrich configurations and qualified alternatives for modernizing quality inspection facilities.
