Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence UK ()www.hexagonmetrology.co.uk)— a leading provider of measurement solutions — has supplied a range of equipment for a dedicated metrology room at the MTC’s Lloyds Bank Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre in Coventry.

This includes a Global Performance co-ordinate measuring machine equipped with a Tesa probe and a Romer portable measuring arm, plus some Swift-Fix modular fixturing systems.

Thanks to Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence’s sponsorship, apprentices will be able to learn an array of metrology skills and put them into practice on a wide variety of projects designed to develop innovative production processes. More than 1,000 people will be trained at the centre over the next 10 years.

Sales and marketing director Brett Green said: “We’re delighted to support the MTC and play a part in helping to address the skills shortage in the engineering industry.”
