Case Study: Construction Mécanique Badimon saves 50% measurement time with Hexagon Absolute Arm and CMM

Portability and flexibility for maximum time savings

Construction Mécanique Badimon (CMB), a precision machining company, faced the challenge of meeting increasingly tight tolerances and new quality control demands from clients for larger components. They needed a more precise and efficient method than point-by-point measurements, especially for complex parts that required portable on-site inspection.

To address this, Hexagon provided CMB with an Absolute Arm featuring an integrated scanner. This portable measuring solution allowed for the collection of point-cloud data directly on the production floor. Hexagon's technology resulted in an estimated 50 percent time savings on quality control processes, such as reducing a specific engraving measurement from 30 to 15 minutes, and enabled the company to meet its clients' stringent requirements for colour cartography and form control.
