Our Company History at Cheyney Design and Development

The Cheyney team started together in the early 1980’s developing some of the first automated gauging and statistical process control systems. Early adopters of the technology included the automotive majors such as Ford Motor Company, General Motors and Rover Group. Well over 1000 automated gauging systems were designed, manufactured and installed for in-process and off-line applications. The included special motorized gauges for aero-engine fan blades, in-process closed loop gauging of pistons, and military components – and factory-wide networking using fiber optic links.
