About Trimos
TRIMOS SA, headquartered in Renens (Switzerland), has been developing and manufacturing measuring instruments for dimensional metrology since 1972 with 100% Swiss-Made production. The portfolio includes height gauges (V-Line), universal setting and measuring benches (HS-Line), calibration benches (HC-Line, Labconcept Nano, THV), portable coordinate measuring machines (C4), portable measuring arms (A-Line with measuring ranges up to 9 m), handheld 3D scanners, laser scanners, optical surface measurement instruments as well as Aberlink CMM systems. In addition, the PWB division offers tool presetting devices, shrink-fit and tool mounting systems. The instruments are used for height, diameter and 3D measurements in the workshop, for the setting of comparative measuring equipment, for the calibration of ring gauges, plug gauges, gauge blocks, dial indicators and micrometers, as well as for the measurement of bearing rings and large components. Customers come from precision mechanics, aerospace, the automotive industry, general manufacturing as well as education and science. Products and services (calibration, repair, training) are distributed through an agent network in more than 40 countries; the company is present in over 60 countries.
