Hexagon AB has completed the transfer of assets from the metrology calibration services business of Feinmess GmbH to Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence.

Founded in 1992, Feinmess provides a comprehensive service in the field of geometric measurement technology. It operates from premises in Bottenhorn, Germany, and has a small team of experts dedicated to calibration activities.

In 2003, the company was awarded DAkkS accreditation, which includes the calibration of step gauges, long block gauges, ball plates, spheres and rings, gears, optical scale bars and prismatic parts using the Virtual CMM algorithm. Feinmess also produces Feintemp, a multi-channel device for measuring temperature and humidity according to VDI/VDE 2627.

Following the transfer of assets, the Bottenhorn site will continue to provide calibration services, with the Feinmess staff becoming part of the Hexagon team.

Norbert Hanke, president of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, said: “Bringing the expertise of Feinmess into our business is a demonstration of our commitment to improving services in our core competency of dimensional metrology (www.hexagonMI.com).

“The team at Feinmess brings a wealth of calibration experience, so we’re very pleased to have them aboard. We look forward to drawing on their knowledge to grow our own capabilities and offer a wider range of services for our customers.”
