Case Study: FKT Formenbau und Kunststofftechnik GmbH achieves smoother production flow with Hexagon m&h Form Inspect

FKT Formenbau und Kunststofftechnik GmbH - Customer Case Study

FKT Formenbau und Kunststofftechnik GmbH, a specialist in mould construction and plastics, faced challenges with production accuracy and costly rework in their complex, automated manufacturing cells. To improve process reliability and ensure their multi-component moulds met strict tolerances, they partnered with vendor Hexagon to implement m&h Form Inspect software and probing systems directly on their machining centres.

Hexagon's solution involved installing software-controlled measuring probes on FKT's machines, allowing workpieces to be inspected while still clamped. This process provided immediate feedback on tolerances, eliminating the need for unclamping and manual measurement. The result was a significant reduction in reworking, a much smoother production flow, and enhanced process security throughout the company. While specific figures were not provided, FKT confirmed the investment paid off by drastically improving adherence to schedules and overall product quality.
