Since last February, the new Hexagon gantry machine for three-dimensional measurement has been in operation at TDG.
It is a large gantry machine, perfect for TDG’s product portfolio, which will allow to achieve better precision values and improve product quality, in line with the requirements of such high-demand sectors as aeronautics, wind power and railways.
In particular, the Hexagon Alpha 2.0 is prepared for measurement of workpiece dimensions up to 2.5 x 3.3 meters, perfect for TDG’s usual type of clamping solution, and with accuracies up to E0,MPE = 5.7 + 4.2 L/1000 mm (L in mm) in each axis.
In parallel to the commissioning of the three-dimensional machine, TDG’s staff has been trained through several days of training by Hexagon itself, to then begin to implement this new technology as part of its production process of high-performance projects and high added value.
The three-dimensional machine, in addition to internal use as part of TDG’s quality assurance system, will be available for external subcontractors, and in particular for TDG’s network of customers and partners.
With this investment, TDG takes another step forward and continues with its strategic plan for 2009-2021, in which it expects to grow by at least 15%, especially in projects of high technical value.
