Case Study: Laro NC-Technik GmbH reduces set-up times with Hexagon m&h probing systems and 3D Form Inspect

Laro NC-Technik GmbH - Customer Case Study

Laro NC-Technik GmbH, a German contract manufacturer, required greater precision and efficiency in its machining processes for large and varied workpieces. The company needed to reduce lengthy set-up times and eliminate inaccuracies caused by manual measurements and reclamping. Hexagon addressed this challenge by equipping Laro's machining centres with m&h touch probes and the 3D Form Inspect software.

The solution from Hexagon allowed operators to measure workpieces directly on the machine, automatically aligning machining programs to the part's actual position and enabling immediate in-process checks. This eliminated the need for a separate measuring room and manual corrections. The implementation resulted in drastic time savings, reducing set-up by at least one hour per part and increasing overall productivity by approximately 5%. Hexagon's technology provided Laro with high process reliability, consistently better quality, and a rapid return on investment.
