1 min read
Hexagon Metrology has entered into a partnership with Dormer Tools, based in Sheffield, to demonstrate the benefits of metrology throughout the production cycle.
At Dormer's facility in Waverley, near Sheffield, there is a concentration of high technology cutting tool solutions. Alongside these will be various solutions from Hexagon Metrology's dimensional metrology systems. One application of particular relevance will be the inclusion of PC-DMIS NC and m&h machine tool probes, these Hexagon Metrology products allow for in-process metrology on CNC machine tools.
"A partnership like this allows us to demonstrate that bringing metrology and cutting tool technologies closer together, can offer countless benefits for the end user," explains David Brown, general manager of Hexagon Metrology. "Having our metrology products on hand at the excellent Dormer facility in Sheffield will allow potential users to learn and understand how metrology is truly an integral part of the production cycle."
John O'Donoghue, general manager of Dormer Tools, says:"PC-DMIS NC software and m&h probing reduce scrap and rework. In most machine shops, these are the two major sources of wasted time and lost money. Dormer sees the collaboration as an ideal opportunity, combining its expertise as a leading provider of cutting tools with high technology metrology equipment from Hexagon Metrology. Combining solutions like those from Hexagon Metrology and Dormer will offer synergies that can only benefit our customers."
To celebrate the start of this relationship, Hexagon Metrology will be holding a special open house at the Dormer facility on the 12-13 April. More information about this event is available at the link below.
