Compatible with the shopfloor hardened Tigo SF CMM and the Global range machines, hardware integration within the production cell is improved by using a standard industrial connector with a predefined layout within an I/O box. The I/O Flow Manager software uses a modular set-up to enable completely customisable measurement routines to meet individual customer requirements. Unlike bespoke solutions, I/O Flow Manager is simple to set up, reducing downtime during installation.
I/O Flow Manager is equipped with a workflow editor as standard, simplifying operations for all levels of user. It is also preconfigured for use with barcode and RFID readers, enabling automatic workpiece recognition in fully-automated installations.
Says Pietro Frascella, sales operations manager at Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence’s Turin Factory: “Integrating a CMM into a production cell brings indispensable benefits in terms of improvements in efficiency and increased throughput. Our aim is to make integrated metrology more accessible and cost effective for our customers by developing a solution with all the benefits of a bespoke package without the high price-tag or long development time.”
