Case Study: Jewelers Machinists Co. Inc. achieves precision design validation with Hexagon CMM inspection

Jewelers Machinists Co. Inc. - Customer Case Study

The customer, Jewelers Machinists Co. Inc., faced a significant challenge in verifying the critical radii and dimensions of its groundbreaking, energy-efficient Marmalade Drive during prototyping. The company's founder, John Pawloski, could no longer rely on traditional measurement methods and needed a high-precision inspection solution to advance the product's development, leading them to partner with vendor Hexagon.

Hexagon provided a shop-floor ready 4.5.4 SF coordinate measuring machine (CMM) with PC-DMIS software, which was easily integrated into the process. This allowed for accurate, routine inspection of vital points and radii, providing the confidence needed to perfect the design. The solution from Hexagon enabled Jewelers Machinists to complete the product development, resulting in a drive with a proven 97-98% energy efficiency. This translates to substantial customer savings, such as an estimated $20,000 per year for a local pizzeria using the drives on its blowers.
