Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence launches new integration solution
Summary
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 setup to enable completely customisable measurement routines to meet individual customer requirements. Unlike bespoke solutions, the I/O Flow Manager system is simple to set up, reducing downtime during installation. Pietro Frascella, sales operations manager at Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence’s Turin Factory, said: “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.” The new I/O Flow Manager is compatible with the shop-floor hardened TIGO SF CMM and the Global range machines.
