Quicker part setups speed inspections

Article Abstract:

Associated Fuel Pump Systems CO (AFCO) found robust benefits in employing the use of inspection machines designed by Carl Zeiss Inc/TSK. One of the machines first adopted by AFCO was Surfcom 1500C, which features a tilt-correct function that automatically levels motor vehicle parts for real time inspection. Another machine which significantly reduced the length of inspection duration is the Contourecord 2600, whose functions can be simultaneously accustomed to a personal computer.

Portable CMM cuts prototype-processing time by 80%

Article Abstract:

Cincinnati Fiberglass Inc. of Batavia, OH, is a supplier of body and under-hood components. The company used to spend several days recreating 3-D models of parts using 2-D tools. This prompted Cincinnati Fiberglass to use a portable, coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) for faster and more accurate prototype-to-production process. The CMM is supplied by Faro Technologies Inc. of Lake Mary, FL.
