Mahr Engineered Solutions (MES) has unveiled a cutting-edge automated measuring station designed specifically for a leading manufacturer of flat-rolled aluminum products destined for the automotive industry.

Renishaw, has collaborated with J.Laverack Bicycles on the development of a luxury bespoke bike. Together, the companies have developed bespoke titanium lugs and components which pair to corresponding carbon fibre parts to create a first-of-its-kind road bike, the J.Laverack Aston Martin .1R.

The factory redefines the standard for intelligent manufacturing of high-precision electronic components through an advanced Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) in-line scanning system that increases board quality inspection efficiency to six times that of traditional manual inspection.

The MetraSCAN BLACK+|Elite 3D also offered flexibility, enabling EKATO to measure parts at various manufacturing stages, including post-weld and post-stress-relief states.

For decades, robots have been used to apply paint to new cars during manufacture, improving safety for employees while yielding the benefits of increased efficiency and more consistent paint application. But even with the precision and reproducibility of robot-applied finishes, vehicles still need to be visually checked in order to identify any potential paint defects.

Martin Precision Ltd, a leading supplier of precision-engineered components and assemblies for the aerospace and defence sectors, has significantly strengthened its quality control processes with the integration of advanced metrology solutions from Bowers Group.

Vivaldi Digital Solutions GmbH has developed an innovative solution for AI quality inspection in real time. In addition to an edge server with an Intel processor, intelligent image processing plays a key role in the so-called SensorBox.

Quality control in hot forming can often only begin when the workpiece has cooled down. Conventional optical quality assurance methods are limited when dealing with hot parts; as the temperature of the workpiece rises, the blurriness in determining its geometry increases.

The Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex’s (OC-ALC) Traveling Metrology Team is significant in maintaining aircraft readiness, utilizing cutting-edge measurement techniques to resolve fitment issues and support the warfighter across multiple bases.
