Hexagon Metrology - Where quality comes together
 
 
Precision Industry
Maximum accuracy - this is the key issue for everything in the precision industry. Here highly accurate, complex parts are manufactured. Every sub-micron counts. For us as well. As accuracy is our business. The manufacture of precision parts for the automotive, horology and aerospace industries is supported by coordinate measuring machines from Leitz and DEA.

And high accuracy is not only necessary for components. Portable laser tracker systems from Leica Geosystems guarantee, for instance, the exact movement of robots.



 
Kaeser Kompressoren - Gera
Leitz 3D measuring machines ensure premium rotary blower quality and efficiency

Blower air is a highly versatile energy source and is essential for water treatment applications and the conveying of dry bulk goods, for example. To ensure that rotary blowers from Kaeser Kompressoren are able to deliver over- and under-pressure dependably and efficiently over the long-term, all components such as rotors, casings and timing gears ...

The dream of a perfect timepiece: Coordinate metrology makes it possible

The Swiss Jura has long been regarded as the cradle of clock- and watch making. Since the upheaval of the industry in the 1980s, companies operating at the cheaper end of the market have gradually turned to the Far East. Suppliers of luxury brands of traditional clocks and watches have remained true to the Jura. They form the regular clientele of ...

Real-time, in-process gauging of mill-turned components

A new, hard-wired, touch probing system has been introduced by m&h UK, Nottingham, that allows sliding-head CNC lathe users to measure turned and milled features quickly on every component after machining, while it is still in the counter spindle and before ejection. It is believed to be the first real-time, in-process quality control ...

Precision Jewels

We are in French Switzerland, in the Jura mountains, which is a short distance from the French border. Little villages, farms, and natural views are in abundance here, however it seems that time has stood still. Appearances though, can prove to be deceptive. On closer inspection you can see that time goes by here too - it has a peculiar meaning ...
