ZeroTouch ZRT Rotational Metrology Optical CMM.
Sandvik has announced the launch of its new player in the industrial metrology space, ZeroTouch. Specialising in supplying advanced automated industrial measurement solutions, the business unit aims to provide users with real-time actionable data.
Sandvik Manufacturing Solutions, a business area segment of Sandvik, focuses on software and software-enabling hardware solutions that will help customers automate and optimise manufacturing processes. This has led to the birth of the ZeroTouch business unit.
The industrial metrology specialist aims to enhance high-volume, near-line, and in-line applications within the automotive, medical, and micromachining sectors, as well as other industries where 100% inspection of mission-critical components is needed. As a result, users should see reductions in deployment, asset, and labour costs and shorter tasks.
“With industry 4.0 and smart factories, the global manufacturing industry is undergoing fundamental changes. To improve efficiency, metrology is moving from quality assurance rooms, near-process to in-line and in-situ metrology,” said Zvonimir Kotnik, President of ZeroTouch. “Rather than a separate inspection process, metrology is and will be part of closed-looped manufacturing. ZeroTouch aspires to play a leading role in enabling more efficient and sustainable manufacturing through automated and connected solutions.”
The high-speed, high-accuracy, non-contact multi-sensor, and multi-cloud configurable Metrology in Motion platform, allows users to gain real-time data throughout various stages of the manufacturing process. As a result, a dynamic feedback loop is created with continuous process control and optimisation.
