New CMM and Shop-Floor Metrology Systems Target Faster Inspection
Hexagon has launched the MAESTRO coordinate measuring machine, and LK Metrology has introduced a shop-floor CMM range. Polyrix also debuted the PolyScan V inline system, which it says scans a full part in 20-seconds.
Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division has announced MAESTRO, a coordinate measuring machine built from the ground up. The company says it is aimed at the productivity demands of modern manufacturing and connected, high-speed measurement workflows.
LK Metrology has launched a new range of shop-floor CMMs. The company says the range offers lab-grade accuracies, and it lists faster inspection and quicker reporting among the advantages of measuring in production rather than in a separate quality room.
Polyrix introduced the PolyScan V inline system at the Control exhibition in Germany. Polyrix says it can scan a full part in 20-seconds and allows real-time scanning of 100% of components.
For equipment buyers, ask whether a shop-floor CMM's stated accuracy holds under your factory's temperature and vibration conditions. For inline scanning, ask how the 20-second figure was measured and which part geometries it covers. Also confirm software compatibility with your existing inspection and CAD/CAM tools.
