A Hexagon Case Study
Davromatic Precision Ltd, a UK-based subcontractor specializing in close-tolerance machining, faced challenges with tool wear causing components to drift out of tolerance, leading to scrap and requiring manual intervention to update offsets on their sliding-head CNC lathes.
Hexagon's m&h division implemented its fixed probing system for real-time, in-process gauging. The solution allowed for 100% inspection of components while still in the machine, automatically updating tool offsets. For Davromatic, Hexagon's system resulted in a 20% productivity increase, a 10% reduction in scrap, and an extra two hours of unmanned running per day, with a rapid payback on investment.
