Case Study: BOOSTER Precision Components achieves higher process stability and 20% scrap reduction with Hexagon Q-DAS IMC

Q-DAS IMC for automatic calculation and transfer of tool correction values to the machine tool control

booster precision components, a german automotive supplier specializing in high-precision compressor wheels, faced challenges with manual tool correction processes. Individual decisions by operators on the shop floor led to inconsistent procedures across shifts, impacting process stability and product quality. To address this, the company partnered with Hexagon to implement its Q-DAS IMC | Intelligent Machine Control software to automate and standardize these corrections.

Hexagon's solution automated the calculation and transfer of tool-specific correction values directly to the machine tool control systems. This implementation eliminated manual adjustments and employee-specific decisions. The results included a 20% reduction in scrap, a 15% capacity gain for operators, and a significant increase in process stability and capability, exceeding the company's initial expectations.
