Upgrade to multi-sensor technology

Versatility in manufacturing means not only being able to satisfy the requirements of current projects, but also having the capability to meet the challenges of the future.

Multi-sensor measurement machines tick all the boxes for Industry 4.0. In comparison to single-sensor systems, when thinking about the value proposition, a multi-sensor option makes both productivity and cost savings predominant factors.

They allow inspection processes to remain accurate, repeatable and efficient for decades to come.

We know what you’re thinking: ‘That’s all well and good, but it also sounds expensive.’

In 2020, however, under a new OGP initiative, you could save up to £20,000 when trading in your legacy shadowgraph or co-ordinate measurement machine (CMM) for a state-of-the-art multi-sensor system.

So why should you? Here are some of the reasons that multi-sensor metrology triumphs over any other measurement method…

• Using two or more different sensors simultaneously, multi-sensor metrology machines acquire data points from part features much faster than a single-sensor system, with no measurement challenge too difficult to overcome.
• Having the capability to measure all dimensions in one set-up reduces costs and increases productivity – just compare this to carrying out fewer measurements using various different (and often manual) methods.
• By employing a single software package instead of multiple and sometimes unique software programmes, training expenditure is greatly reduced.
• A multi-sensor system allows for more space and capacity within the production environment by reducing the amount of individual machines needed per part feature.
• Data collection via a single system and its software avoids potential problems created by transferring data between machines with varying resolutions and calibrations.
• When programming part measurements from CAD, much of the work can be carried out offline and away from the multi-sensor metrology unit, allowing it to be used to support production.
• Full 3D software aids programming and system operation through real-time kinematic models of both the system and its sensors.

Going above and beyond customer expectations

Working with OGP UK means you will be able to accurately evaluate your quality routine needs and determine the best solution for your business.

We are able to perform acceptance and re-verification tests on optical measuring systems in accordance with ISO 10360-7, thanks to accreditation granted by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).

With unique access to machine error compensation and verification routines, our engineers deliver holistic calibrations to maintain equipment at manufacturer specifications throughout its entire lifetime, guaranteeing your production line accuracy and helping to save you both time and money.

No other company is able to go to the level that OGP UK can – and that’s what makes us stand out from the crowd.
