EPSRC Future Metrology Hub
Consortium The Hub is made up of four key university partners who are responsible for delivering the vision and research. The core activity is based at the University of Huddersfield, which has research strengths in mathematics for metrology, optical sensors/instruments, surface metrology and machine-tool metrology. These are complemented by research in large-scale/volume measurement systems (Loughborough and Bath Universities) and manufacturing data analytics (University of Sheffield).
Huddersfield The Centre for Precision Technologies (CPT) based at the University of Huddersfield has an unrivalled track record of world class metrology research and has a team of over 35 researchers supplemented by technicians and support staff.
The team has a wide ranging expertise in surface metrology techniques and applications, mathematics for metrology, optical instrument development, machine tool metrology and X-Ray Computed Tomography. The CPT has state-of-the art lab facilities and equipment including a specialist optics lab, a class 10,000 cleanroom and an ultra-precision machining lab.
The CPT has an excellent reputation for collaborations with industry and has successfully delivered projects across a broad spectrum of sectors. Huddersfield is also the location of the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) North of England regional hub which has its own lab facilities and specialises in dimensional measurement of complex components and assemblies.
