In industry, and particularly in metalworking, forming technologies are used to optimally shape the raw material employed in production. If these technologies and the underlying processes are set up inefficiently, this leads to:
- high scrap rates due to cracks, wrinkling, or dimensional deviations,
- excessive material usage (safety margins in sheet thickness or blank geometry),
- and unnecessarily high energy consumption due to improper tool adjustments or redundant correction loops.
Therefore, the goal of research and development is to improve the quality, efficiency, and flexibility of production processes. Precise real-time measurements are indispensable here: In so-called “closed-loop systems,” the parameters of forming equipment are adjusted immediately as soon as even the slightest deviations in material behavior are detected by the measurement systems in use. With automatic countermeasures in the systems, these deviations can be compensated immediately, thereby reducing scrap to a minimum.
This makes it clear: To achieve the best results here, you need extremely precise and highly synchronized measurement systems. It is precisely in these areas that our measuring instruments are market leaders - and have been for over 25 years now!
