Case Study: KYB boosts quality inspection and reverse engineering with Hexagon's ROMER Absolute Arm

Pioneers in scanning and reverse engineering for shock absorber manufacturing

KYB, a major global manufacturer of shock absorbers, sought to enhance its reverse engineering and quality inspection processes at its Technical Centre in Spain. The challenge was to find a precise and rapid measurement system that could be used for 100% part inspection and in-house reverse engineering, reducing reliance on external services and speeding up production. Hexagon provided its ROMER Absolute Arm with an integrated scanner to address this need.

Hexagon's solution provided KYB with a mobile, easy-to-use system that required no warm-up time, significantly reducing working times for scanning a wide range of components. The results included a profitable investment that met all initial expectations, leading to high satisfaction and interest from other departments within the company. The implementation also included effective training completed in just two weeks, allowing KYB to fully integrate the technology into its cutting-edge processes.
