Case Studies: CMM Precision Proves Essential to Success
Running five shifts, supporting four different product lines and processing more than 20,000 parts per month requires not only detailed planning, but also reliable inspection technology. For Dietmar Ingensiep, group leader of the common rail division at Robert Bosch Corp. (Charleston, SC), consistent output of accurate data is essential for ensuring uninterrupted manufacturing processes and producing high-quality products.
In 2001, when Ingensiep took over the department, one of the major bottlenecks he noticed was the extensive time needed to develop new coordinate measuring machine (CMM) programs. Today, with the help of dependable CMM technology and user-friendly software, this is no longer a concern.
