Increasing quality, lowering scrap After an extensive search and evaluation process, a specialist manufacturer of highly engineered, close tolerance components and assemblies commissioned a Hommel RoundScan system. This provides an in-house capability for measuring roundness values on a variety of high volume precision parts. The enhanced capability has resulted in an increase in product quality, reduced process scrap and a reduction in customer rejects.
Increasing product premium A leading manufacturer of sporting rifle ammunition purchased a Hommel-Etamic Opticline non-contact measurement system to quantify the variations within its component manufacturing process, replacing a manual method. This development enables our client to sort the components by their dimensional attributes and to offer both a standard grade product as well as a highly accurate, premium grade product that achieves a 20% premium on resale price.

Streamlined process As part of their long term investment in the UK, a world leader in the automotive turbo charger market has installed a fully automated Hommel-Etamic Opticline system to provide in-process measurement of high accuracy shafts. This fully integrated system works in tandem with an automatic feed and robot loading system to provide an autonomous measuring cell, removing the need for manual intervention and providing improved productivity at lower cost.

Saving 500 operator hours a yearA leading manufacturer of civilian and military aircraft has adopted a Hommel-Etamic Opticline non-contact measurement system for the shop floor measurement of helicopter power transmission shafts. Among the benefits of this application are significant reductions in measuring process time, saving around 500 operator hours per year along with savings in component scrap and energy.
Delivering consistency A global manufacturer of automotive fuel systems is using a Hommel Etamic air gauging system to measure performance critical features in its range of diesel fuel injectors. This system offers the client repeatability and a level of accuracy, typically +/- 0.00025mm, that ensures the high level of consistency in the performance of the finished product that is demanded by its OEM customers.

Paying back in 3 months An international specialist in optoelectronic components and sensors selected a Micro-Vu Vertex non-contact vision measurement system to perform various metrology tasks across its product range. We were able to far exceed their expectations by having the system delivered, commissioned and fully operational within 72 hours. Due to the significant reduction in process time that the system was able to offer, the client was able to achieve a payback period on their investment of just 3 months.
