Physical Measurement

In addition to image processing and optical inspection, we have extensive experience in physical measurement technology. This includes, for example, measurement methods for tolerance, surface, and wear testing as well as for force, temperature, and weight measurement. Our highly precise and integrated testing techniques can sustainably influence factors such as product quality and production efficiency, creating the best conditions for components with a 'zero-defect’ rate.

Physical Measurement Technology – Precision for Optimized Production Processes

Physical measurement techniques are integrated across various industries in numerous production solutions and play a central role in efficient manufacturing. They enable the precise recording of physical quantities such as length, temperature, and pressure, ensuring the quality and efficiency of production processes. Modern measurement techniques help to maintain tolerances, identify sources of error early, and continuously optimize production.

With our solutions in physical measurement technology, we have been providing our customers with the right tools for monitoring, cost, quality, and performance control of their production and components for years.

The Benefits of Physical Measurement Techniques – Enhancing Precision, Efficiency, and Quality

Improved product quality and efficient processes can contribute to strengthening market position and competitiveness. Additionally, there are other aspects that are important for your production:

Automation Inspection
  • Process Monitoring and Optimization: Continuous physical inspection of components and machine parts provides valuable data for identifying bottlenecks or inefficient processes.
  • Cost Control: Early identification of defective or poorly produced components can reduce your scrap rate and effectively lower rework costs.
  • Traceability and Documentation: Physical inspection ensures seamless documentation and traceability of inspections, which is helpful not only during audits but also for analyzing causes of errors in the future.
  • Safety and Reliability: Physical testing methods such as leak testing or strength testing ensure that components function reliably and safely under real operating conditions.
