Case Study: ENGESSER GmbH achieves faster, more accurate machining and eroding with Hexagon m&h probing systems and 3D Form Inspect

ENGESSER GmbH - Customer Case Study

ENGESSER GmbH, a German manufacturer of precision molds and contract parts, faced challenges in ensuring high accuracy (within 10µm tolerances) and efficiency in their production process. Measuring parts was time-consuming, created bottlenecks at assembly, and often required reclamping parts for rework after they had been removed from the machining and eroding machines. They implemented Hexagon's m&h measuring probes and 3D Form Inspect software to enable in-machine inspection.

The solution from Hexagon allowed operators to perform immediate target/performance comparisons on parts while they were still clamped in the machining and eroding centers. This enabled instant feedback and in-process corrections, eliminating reclamping and reducing assembly bottlenecks. The results were significant time savings, a more harmonious production flow, and a major reduction in rework. ENGESSER reported vastly reduced lead and assembly times, with parts now being truly assembly-ready.
