Case Study: Bomacon achieves reliable high-precision large-part machining with Hexagon m&h touch probes

Bomacon - Customer Case Study

Bomacon, a specialized contract manufacturer of large precision parts in the Netherlands, faced the challenge of performing reliable and precise in-process measurements on massive workpieces. The need to transmit probe signals over long distances and from inside large components, all while avoiding interference with other machines, was critical for meeting tightening tolerances and customer deadlines. To address this, they turned to probes and software from vendor Hexagon.

Hexagon implemented its robust, radio transmission-based touch probes and 3D Form Inspect software on Bomacon's large machining centers. The probes' strong signal, secure channels, and tool-less battery replacement ensured uninterrupted, high-precision measurement without production delays. The results included enhanced production safety, the ability to provide customers with immediate measurement reports, and significant time savings, which allowed Bomacon to meet increasing quality demands and improve their service offering.
