The ROMER Absolute Arm, a measuring machine from Hexagon Metrology, guarantees the highest quality of Solaris tram components.
Retro But Fit
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. Almost two decades old, its coordinate measuring machine recently made the grade on an improvement course thanks to a modernisation package from Hexagon Metrology.
Lifelong Absolute Accuracy For Industrial Robots
High speed tracking is one of the most stringent requirements for robot control, machine guidance and Metrology Assisted Assembly. Robot calibration, accuracy improvement of drilling machines or automation of wingto-body assembly are just some examples of machine control applications of Leica Laser Trackers.
Macchine di misura a coordinate garantiscono forma e funzionalità della moderna rubinetteria domestica
In Turchia ci si rilassa nell‘Hammam. I giapponesi si rinfrescano nell‘Ofuro. Nelle riviste di arredamento è considerato sempre più un‘oasi di benessere: è del bagno che stiamo parlando. Da oltre 100 anni la Hansgrohe AG (www.hansgrohe.com) produce e distribuisce in tutto il mondo la componentistica per la rubinetteria domestica.
Collaudo automatico del mezzo di trasporto preferito dai pendolari
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).
Burr-Free First Time
Company Vorwerk check mould inserts and slides while still clamped on the machine tool using m&h’s touch probes and 3D Form Inspect software. A mould manufactured this way, with two sets of ten slides, was burr-free first time and released for volume production after the very first sample.
Economical Quality for All
By implementing a server licence for their m&h measuring software, Geberit has standardised the software of three plants in two countries. This has made the same functions available to all the people involved. The objective was to harmonise manufacturing equipment throughout all plants, make better use of licences within the group and reduce upkeep and maintenance expenses.
High-precision inspection for the European Extremely Large Telescope E-ELT
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.
Manutenzione di impianti industriali
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.
National Measurement Institute and Britiains Largest Applied Physics Organisation
Established at the turn of the twentieth century, the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has been at the forefront of some of the world’s most important scientific breakthroughs including the development of radar and the automatic computer engine. Distinguished scientists such as Louis Essen, the inventor of the atomic clock, and Alan Turing, the computer science pioneer and Enigma machine codebreaker, spent parts of their careers working on projects at the NPL.
Portable Measuring Arm Helps Krayer GmbH Comply With ISO9001 Standards
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.
