Case Study: ACTech GmbH reduces rework with Hexagon's m&h probing systems and 3D Form Inspect

ACTech GmbH - Customer Case Study

ACTech GmbH, a German company specializing in prototype manufacturing, faced challenges with dimensional inaccuracies and high rework rates when machining close-tolerance parts for industries like automotive and aerospace. The company needed a way to measure workpieces directly on their machines to eliminate errors from manual checks and reclamping. They turned to Hexagon for a solution using the m&h 3D Form Inspect software and touch probes.

Hexagon's solution involved implementing their m&h touch probes and 3D Form Inspect software on 12 of ACTech's machining centers. This allowed for on-machine measurement with automatic calibration and collision control, ensuring reliable and repeatable results. The measurable impact was significant: rework was drastically reduced from 50% to just 5%, providing greater process reliability, more flawless parts, and significant time savings for ACTech.
