Case Study: Hans Rhyn AG achieves faster, more reliable in-machine measurement with Hexagon NC Gage

Hans Rhyn AG - Customer Case Study

Hans Rhyn AG, a Swiss manufacturer specializing in precision punch tools and jigs, faced a challenge with the unsatisfactory measuring functions on its Hauser jig grinding machine equipped with a Fanuc control. The process of manual inspection was time-consuming, prone to error, and often required moving parts to other machines. Hexagon addressed this by implementing its NC Gage software application.

The solution from Hexagon involved installing NC Gage on a tablet connected to the machine via WLAN, enabling a wide variety of in-process measuring functions. This allowed operators to easily define and run measuring programs directly on the machine. The results were significant, with the company reporting a 40% reduction in measuring time, a vast increase in the number of measurements taken, and the elimination of errors from manual calculations. Hexagon's solution provided greater certainty, saved costs by preventing scrap parts, and quickly paid for itself.
