Process control technologies for a 

smart factory

include ...
 
 
Machine calibration
 
A machine’s fundamentals need to be thoroughly checked, errors identified and remedied, making sure machine performance is optimised to deliver the accuracy required for perfect part quality.
 
 
 
Quality control
 
CMM sensors deliver accurate part dimensions and collect surface data to match your quality control requirement.

For complex, freeform component structures, advanced 3D scanning is required to provide sufficient data for accurate 5-axis machining.
 
 
 
On-machine inspection
 
Probing is an established best practice for maximising the efficiency, quality, capability and accuracy of machine tools.

Standard routines built into modern CNC controls simplify the integration of probing cycles into machining operations and offline tools.
 
 
 
Off-machine measurement
 
Equator™ systems accurately gauge components from multiple machines in an automated manufacturing cell to deliver repeatable, versatile and reprogrammable shop-floor gauging.
