A Hexagon Case Study
Ogihara America Corporation, a Tier 1 automotive parts supplier, needed to automate the dimensional inspection of its vehicle panels and assemblies to meet the highest quality standards and reduce lengthy launch times. To address this, the company turned to vendor Hexagon and its CogniTens OptiCell system, an advanced non-contact optical measurement technology.
Hexagon’s solution involved implementing a fully automated OptiCell on the production floor, which integrated robotics and flexible fixtures. This system provided instant, comprehensive measurement data, eliminating hundreds of CMM inspection hours. According to Ogihara, the investment paid for itself in about three months and enabled them to start mass production faster while delivering higher quality products at a lower cost.
