DI Christian Janko General Manager New perspectives New perspectives open up new possibilities. In this 9th issue of FOCUSvariation, the magazine about Bruker Alicona metrology, we introduce you to the new perspectives we can open in metrology. For the first time with this issue we present the new MetMaX operating software of our optical micro coordinate measuring system µCMM. MetMaX will open a new perspective to the current understanding that measurement accuracy depends on the choice of the right measurement strategy by an experienced operator. With MetMaX, the measurement and evaluation...

Requirements that production measurement technology has to meet Modern measuring instruments ensure quality, reduce setup times, and increase process reliability The purpose of production measurement technology is to ensure component and process quality. The measuring instruments used for this purpose must fulfill a range of requirements to facilitate efficient production without rejects. If modern production facilities also aim for integrated production strategies according to Industry 4.0, they already lay the foundation for self-controlling production through their choice of measuring...

From production measurement technology to SmartManufacturing When 3D measurement becomes the smart eye for production Measurement instruments, production systems and machine tools are linked in a way that the first part is produced already as a good part. Production measurement systems must meet a number of requirements in order to be part of networked, digitized production. Alicona is ready. On many production lines, the use of measurement technology for quality assurance is still realized off-line. Inspection equipment is often located at the end of a production chain and the quality of a...

How do you automate? Our automation options for networked manufacturing and digitization Automation is more than the automatic measurement of roughness and With the trend to increasingly implement quality assurance and thus measurement technology as an integral part of production, the requirements for measurement systems have also changed. Measuring systems must be fully automatable so that they can be operated at any time by any user. In addition, complex components with tight tolerances require measuring systems that deliver robust, traceable Automatic measurement of dimension, position,...
