Case Study: Erich Rothe GmbH & Co. KG achieves higher productivity and less reworking with Hexagon m&h metrology solutions

Erich Rothe GmbH & Co. KG - Customer Case Study

Erich Rothe GmbH & Co. KG, a manufacturer of precision carrier tapes, required extreme accuracy and process reliability in its mould production to minimize reworking and machine downtime. To achieve this, the company turned to vendor Hexagon and implemented a suite of m&h products including an infrared probe, a laser tool setter, and 3D Form Inspect software on its machining centres.

Hexagon's solution provided contactless tool measurement, robust protection against contamination, and seamless in-machine inspection software. This resulted in a clear increase in productivity, considerably less reworking, and a much higher success rate for initial moulds. The measurable impacts included significantly reduced maintenance costs, the elimination of unplanned downtime, and a fully documented quality assurance process that ensured all parts were in accordance with their design drawings.
