Case Study: Blomberg & Stensson AB reduces tube measurement time from minutes to seconds with Hexagon TubeInspect

Blomberg & Stensson AB - Customer Case Study

Blomberg & Stensson AB, a flexible Swedish sheet metal and tube manufacturer, faced a time-consuming challenge with its manual tube measurement process. To boost efficiency in its high-mix production of bent tubes, the company turned to a solution from vendor Hexagon: the non-contact TubeInspect P16 measuring system and BendingStudio software.

By implementing Hexagon’s 3D scanning solution, the vendor enabled the customer to reduce measurement cycle times from several minutes to under ten seconds. The system automatically sends measurement data to bending machines to fine-tune parameters, optimizing tolerances, preventing waste, and significantly enhancing production quality and efficiency.
