Intelligent Machine Control

Hexagon's solution for Intelligent Machine Control uses statistical insight from measured machining data to automatically adjust machining toolpaths, countering the effects of machine tool variance for increasingly autonomous production processes.

Integrating hardware and software to create a closed-loop manufacturing cell, Intelligent Machine Control improves data use within manufacturing processes. By creating added value from the preparation, presentation and analysis of production data, it supports a digital manufacturing approach. The solution can integrate different types of machine tools and handles advanced measurement data including feature information. The result is greater stability of the machining process, higher process capability, less scrap and higher overall productivity.

The automatic delivery and correction of the tools reduces manual effort at the machines and increases additional overall capacity. The software reduces tool costs, minimises scrap and relieves the operators at the machine.
