Benefits: • Make quick scrap or rework decisions • Keep manufacturing processes in control • Fast and easy programming with automated measurement strategies • Transfer measurement sequences quickly and easily between machine tools and measuring machines Solve complex measurement problems on Machine Tools On Machine Verification can be used to support the set-up of a job, or to evaluate the quality of machining where decisions can be made – on the machine itself. Our customers can be found in the aerospace, automotive and advanced manufacturing sectors, working with composites, complex geometries and free-form shapes. Work with 3, 4, and 5-axis machining centres. OMV supports table/table configurations, mixed configurations, or head/head configurations. Contact us now for more information.
