Case Study

In the aerospace industry, where accuracy and efficiency are vital, optimizing the measurement process is key to maintaining a competitive edge. Meyer Tool, a leading manufacturer of aerospace engine components in Cincinnati, Ohio, found a breakthrough solution with Renishaw’s Equator™ comparison measurement system. This solution not only effectively replaces traditional rigid measurement equipment, but also delivers significant cost and productivity benefits.

In the context of the manufacturing industry moving strongly into the Industry 4.0 era, automating processes to improve productivity and ensure quality is a key factor. At a recent major tech event, V-Proud introduced a groundbreaking solution: the SAS Automatic 3D Scanning System. This is not just a typical measurement device but a comprehensive system that delivers fully automated, precise, and efficient quality inspection capabilities.

The Equator–X™ 500 is a groundbreaking measurement system from Renishaw, specifically designed to provide the latest advanced measurement solutions for on-the-floor process control. With its ability to operate as two systems in one, this device offers a flexible and effective solution for manufacturers.

In the modern manufacturing era, where errors are only acceptable at the micrometer level, precise measurement and quality control are vital for the manufacturing industry. The adoption of digital technology solutions like Laser Trackers is no longer an option but an essential requirement for businesses to maintain a competitive edge. The Radian Laser Tracker product line, in particular, stands out as a keen "pair of eyes" for the precision industry.

Renishaw, a world leader in metrology and manufacturing systems, has expanded its AGILITY® range of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). The AGILITY range is designed and built for speed and accuracy, reinforcing Renishaw’s reputation for innovation in the most demanding industries. The machines are optimised for Renishaw’s REVO® 5-axis multi-sensor system, bringing new possibilities to the shop floor.

The API Services team then brought Radian Pro and vProbe onsite to begin the measurement and inspection process for components that needed high accuracy measurement on hidden points with difficult lines of sight.
