MARINE CORPS AIR STATION CHERY POINT, N.C. – Recent equipment acquisitions in the Precision Measurement Center (PMC) – a component of the Advanced Measurement Services and Reverse Engineering Labs (AMSREL) Division of the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul Engineering Department at Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE) – will allow the program to perform these precise measurements more efficiently. A new optical comparator and laser trackers allow mechanical engineering technicians to more easily assess items small and large, including aircraft components, support fixtures and more – improvements that will help FRCE continue to improve product quality and drive down turnaround times.
