Case Study: China Airlines extends CMM longevity and boosts measurement efficiency with Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence

China Airlines - Customer Case Study

China Airlines, the main airline carrier in Taiwan, faced the challenge of conducting time-consuming precision inspections for its aeroengine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) process. To enhance this process, the company partnered with Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence and installed a DEA OMEGA bridge-type coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to ensure high-accuracy measurements of engine parts.

Hexagon's solution, maintained by its local distributor, included a rigorous quarterly and annual service programme. This long-term partnership and a subsequent software upgrade to PC-DMIS resulted in a 50% reduction in production time and a further 20% cycle time improvement after the upgrade. The CMM has provided over 23 years of high-precision service, demonstrating the longevity and value of Hexagon's equipment and support.
