Zygo Team Wins Prestigious Engineering Excellence Award For Automotive Metrology Efforts
MIDDLEFIELD, CT –- Zygo Corporation congratulated the Zygo Automotive Precision Optical Metrology Team on winning the 2013 Paul F. Forman Engineering Excellence Award from the Optical Society of America. The team’s OSA Award cites “over a decade of outstanding engineering work in developing custom optical metrology solutions for the automotive industry, enabling ever-higher precision engineering tolerances for improved emissions, reliability and fuel efficiency.”
In the late 1990’s, major automotive suppliers were driven by tightening tolerances related to air pollution, fuel efficiency, and high‐pressure diesel injector development began to seek practical alternatives to mechanical stylus metrology and mechanical CMM systems for surface topography, texture and form.
