A Hexagon Case Study
Airbus required advanced dimensional inspection capabilities to keep pace with the production of wing components for its aircraft, including the new A380. To meet this challenge, the aerospace manufacturer turned to Hexagon for a large coordinate measuring machine (CMM) that could operate accurately in an open shop environment.
Hexagon provided its innovative DELTA AB CMM, a machine with a large measuring stroke and exceptional accuracy. It was equipped with specialized A.C.T.I.V. thermal compensation software and PC-DMIS metrology software to ensure precise measurements by canceling the effects of temperature changes and streamlining the inspection process. This solution provided Airbus with the advanced, reliable, and efficient inspection capabilities needed to support its production goals.
