The combination of Alphacam’s parametric function and its ability to drive 5-axis routers is the way forward for a company focusing on high end solid timber joinery.
It was an open and shut case when Leicester-based Trifibre were looking for CAD/CAM software to drive their new CNC router. They chose Alphacam. And now, around five years later, it programs their Biesse Rover, a Morbidelli, and their original small Pacer.
“Cabinet Vision’s nesting function is as important to us as the electricity supply in our workshop.” Those are the words of Jake Gregory, Business Development Manager at Burnley-based Crown Cabinets Ltd.
Purpose-written macros in Alphacam software have slashed programming time of bespoke projects from a day down to an hour, for a staircase specialist.
A joinery company has developed a specialist subcontract horizontal routing service on doors and door linings for property developers, architects and builders.
The advanced technology of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence is playing a vital role in an ambitious and innovative project being completed in northern Norway. Asturfeito, a Hexagon customer in Spain for over five years, leads the project, which involves the installation of two large 13.5-metre diameter radio telescopes that will observe the universe around us from an isolated location within the Arctic Circle. The measurement and later assembly for this project has utilised the advanced technology of a Leica Absolute Tracker AT402.
“Cabinet Vision speeds up our process and has completely eliminated errors from it.”
Those are the words of Matthew Marsden, whose company, Matthew Marsden Furniture, only began using the software in 2016, and quickly became advanced users at a high level.

Rapid, Accurate Frame Validation Made Possible with ROMER Bike Measurement System.
A long-established Newbury-based engineering subcontractor has invested in a DMC machining centre and Edgecam software in order to win long-term new business from a food company. Engineering Solutions & Supply Ltd were asked to manufacture complete kits of tooling to ensure that glass jars were in the right position at the right time on a conveyor system, to be filled with food products. It included feed scrolls and the associated base plates, base clamps, star heels and centre guides.
La qualità è tutto alla Stein-Moser, produttore di macchine da taglio a getto d’acqua. È per questo che viene impiegato un efficiente Leica Absolute Tracker per montare e verificare le macchine.
Solaris - an ambassador of the Polish industry and its unquestionable symbol, a pioneer in its industry, currently recognised by millions of Poles who use public transport services, the manufacturer of state-of-the-art buses and trolleybuses, quite recently also invested in the manufacturing of trams. Solaris buses are known not only in Poland, but also in 24 European countries and in the United Arab Emirates. The Solaris logo, a green dachshund, represents the key features of their products: length, low floor and environmentally friendly characteristics. The ROMER Absolute Arm, a measuring machine from Hexagon Metrology, guarantees the highest quality of Solaris tram components.
How can existing machines be kept up to current standards against the background of increasing quality assurance requirements? The solution is a retrofit. Thöni Manufacturing GmbH shows you how.

Da oltre 100 anni la Hansgrohe AG (www.hansgrohe.com) produce e distribuisce in tutto il mondo la componentistica per la rubinetteria domestica.
I proprietari di una Brompton non posseggono semplicemente una bicicletta. Posseggono un prodotto che grazie ai suoi sviluppi e alle sue innovazioni è costruito per durare a lungo. La possibilità di piegare la bicicletta in un’unità compatta che si può portare con sè sui mezzi pubblici, rappresenta la caratteristica fondamentale del progetto. With their commitment to excellence and the high quality expected by its customers the company has decided that now is the right time to invest in twenty first century measurement equipment in the form of a DEA GLOBAL Performance coordinate measuring machine (CMM).
Lo stabilimento Vorwerk veri ca gli inserti e le parti mobili degli stampi quando ancora sono staffati in macchina, utilizzando i tastatori m&h e il software 3D Form Inspect. Uno stampo costruito in questo modo, con due serie di dieci slitte, si è rivelato senza bave per la prima volta ed è stato omologato per la produzione in grande serie già dopo il primo pezzo campione.
Implementando una licenza server per il software di misura m&h, Geberit ha standardizzato l’attrezzatura software di tre stabilimenti in due nazioni ed ha pertanto reso disponibile la stessa gamma di funzioni a tutte le persone interessate. Gli obiettivi erano armonizzare ulteriormente le attrezzature produttive in tutti gli stabilimenti, migliorare l’utilizzo delle licenze all’interno del gruppo e ridurre così le spese di manutenzione.
The race is on for who will manufacture 1,000 mirrors for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT). Cranfield University in the UK has begun work on producing seven of the mirror segments for ‘the world’s biggest eye on the sky’ with the aid of high accuracy measurement systems from Hexagon Metrology. Built by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) the E-ELT, a ground-based telescope, will be 42m in diameter and made up of 1,000 hexagonal segments, each 1.5m wide and just 5cm thick. The E-ELT is four to five times larger and will gather 15 times more light than the largest optical telescopes operating today.
Dall’originale e pionieristico LTD-500 fino ai moderni e compatti Laser Tracker AT401 di Hexagon Metrology, uniti alla grande esperienza nella misura dimensionale avanzata acquisita nel corso di 14 anni di storia, la Tecnimex do Brasil è divenuta uno dei principali riferimenti nella fornitura di servizi di metrologia tridimensionale portatile in America Latina.
Fondato a cavallo del Novecento, il National Physical Laboratory (NPL), è stato in prima linea di alcune delle più importanti scoperte scientifiche, tra cui lo sviluppo del radar e di ACE (Automatic Computer Engine). Illustri ricercatori come Louis Essen, l’inventore dell’orologio atomico, e Alan Turing, pioniere dell’informatica e decrittatore della macchina Enigma, hanno dedicato parte della loro carriera a progetti dell’NPL.
The picturesque Lake Constance, located near the rim of the Alpine region of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, is home to Krayer GmbH, a middle-sized company of about 50 employees specializing in the production of 3D forming parts. The company has a rich history, dating back to 1884, when Franz-Joseph Krayer founded a modest fabrication shop in the lakeside town of Langenargen. The business has weathered two world wars and the turbulent hyper-inflation times in-between, only to see its pressing equipment completely confiscated by the allied occupying forces right after the end of WWII. However, the company rose from the ashes and expanded, quickly making up the losses.
