Two metrology specialists are offering UK manufacturers an opportunity to enhance their part measurement capabilities.

OGP UK and Vicivision UK — both part of Derbyshire-based Carfulan Group — are offering discounts on their ‘state of
the art’ multi-sensor and optical inspection technology to any business trading in a shadowgraph, co-ordinate measurement machine (CMM) or optical system. Their engineers can give free no-obligation demonstrations of OGP and Vicivision technology.

OGP UK sales manager Graham Shaw said: “Good measurement makes for good manufacturing, and we know from more than 30 years’ experience in the industry that there’s nothing our multi-sensor metrology technology cannot measure.

"It has enabled countless businesses in a multitude of sectors to dramatically improve production, freeing untapped potential and giving them a rapid return on investment.

“Traditional measurement systems need manual operation and are therefore slow and prone to human error. OGP multi-sensor machines — on the other hand — house world-leading optical, laser and tactile sensors in a single unit, automatically selecting the right tools for any task in the same routine and analysing the data using advanced software.

"With more accurate and real-time statistics about ‘noise’ on your production line comes total control.

"Issues can be put right immediately, so that parts are right first time, scrap and rework are eliminated, and productivity accelerates.”
