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 year
A 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.
