TechValidate Research on Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence

The new TubeShaper software gives us measurement capabilities that were not previously available.

Purchased a longer length arm, which allows us to collect data on larger dies. Integrated laser scanner decreases the time from probing to scanning.

We can accurately measure parts to instill confidence to our customers we are building parts to their specifications.

Quickly and easily able to reverse engineer products. This was something we really struggled with before, but now have a great solution to open up this service to our customers.

Enables easy measurement of relatively large and/or complex geometries that cannot easily be accomplished with less flexible measuring devices.

The Romer arm enabled my client to inspect the geometric tolerances that were specified on the part drawings. This greatly reduced the dependence on the vendors’ inspection reports.

Hexagon has allowed measurement checks for tubes which we were not previously able to measure correctly.

Hexagon allows for better visibility of our true quality, more data and more insight.

Reduced turnaround time while improving quality of data and quantity of data.

Ability to be at the assembly location not transferring parts to a controlled lab at a different location in the facility.

3D scanning capability has aided us in identifying possible dimensional nonconformities in our production process as well as verifying tool design and wear.

Task time reduction, data accuracy increased.

I can measure parts inside of a CNC machine without removing them from their fixtures.

Hexagon provides easy, fast comparison of product actual dimensions to expected dimensions.

The romer arm has provided our inspection team with consistency. Through the consistency we were able to determine how to reduce the inspection of individual parts.

By buying the arm, we avoided purchasing upwards of 25 custom gauges at a cost of around $15,000 each which would have been $375,000.

The efficiency of the ROMER arm has provided us the ability to scan 100% of the parts we reverse engineer! Prior to purchasing the ROMER arm, we scanned maybe 25% of the parts.

We are able to reverse engineer components much faster which has translated right down through our value stream in a market that is dependent on short lead times and ever changing A-movers.

With Hexagon, we gained the ability to reverse engineer and measure parts that would be very hard to do using other methods.

The ROMER Arm allowed us to accurately gather geometric data with high confidence on parts that are too large for our CMM.

We were able to measure our completed cars and bodies in a fraction of the time. Allowed us more time to focus on the details instead of taking measurements

Ease of use and easy to train operators. Also best tool for qualification of fixtures.
