MGI is upgrading its CMM technology - Hexagon Blue
Hexagon Global Blue
MGI will be receiving our latest Hexagon CMM Global Blue within the next 8 weeks. This machine will be the newest addition to our other machines. Our current technology is approximately 11 years old and we are now looking for speed and agility.
The new machine has the newest in interactive technology allowing this machine to run 20 hours per day. We will be implementing robot loading and running.
MGI is making advances in Quality Control with Articulating Arms
Hexagon Absolute Arm (7 Axis device)
MGI has placed its first order for the Hexagon Absolute Arm (portable cmm). We have purchased two arms to facilitate more inspection at the in-process stages of manufacturing. After several meetings and demos, we feel this product will greatly increase the speed of our inspection and increase the frequency.
It is our intent to deploy this to the operator level on the floor and allow each person to become technical with the arms
This product will be deployed across two of our facilities
