Easy 3D measurement in the Workshop

High-precision machining

Introduction

Pepin SAS, a leading precision machining firm, recently integrated the Trimos CMM C4 into its operations. This advanced portable coordinate measuring machine is set to enhance the company’s precision measurement capabilities, ensuring superior quality control and efficiency in production processes.

Pepin SAS specializes in high-precision machining, requiring meticulous measurement techniques to maintain product quality. Traditionally, the company relied on a centralized metrology lab, which often led to delays in the production cycle as components had to be transported back and forth for measurement and verification.

Challenge

The primary challenge faced by Pepin SAS was the inefficiency caused by the separation of the production floor and the metrology lab. This division not only slowed down the production process but also introduced potential risks of damage or contamination during the transport of components.

There was a critical need for an on-site measurement solution that could seamlessly integrate into the production environment.

Solution

The acquisition of the Trimos CMM C4 provided Pepin with a transformative solution. This portable, digitally controlled 3D measuring machine is designed for use directly on the shop floor. With its 4 motorized axes and advanced Renishaw TP20 technology, the Trimos CMM C4 enables high-precision measurements in real-time, directly within the manufacturing process. Additionally, the C4’s ergonomic design and intuitive Aberlink software interface ensure seamless integration into existing workflows, enhancing overall productivity.

Conclusion

The implementation of the Trimos CMM C4 has significantly enhanced Pepin’s manufacturing workflow. By enabling immediate, on-site 3D measurements, the company has reduced downtime and improved the accuracy and reliability of its quality control processes. This strategic investment underscores Pepin’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to maintain its reputation for excellence in precision machining. As a pioneer in the industry, Pepin SAS continues to set the standard for high-precision manufacturing solutions.
