Coventry-based Visioneering UK has entered into an agreement with Faro UK to provide on-site measurement services for manufacturers in a wide range of industries.

Coventry-based Visioneering UK has entered into an agreement with Faro UK to provide on-site measurement services for manufacturers in a wide range of industries, using Faro's latest technology Laser Tracker.

Faro UK Country Manager, David Homewood, said: "Visioneering's expertise in a wide variety of manufacturing sectors will enable the company to offer an unrivalled on-site measurement service, to support Faro UK's sales team".

On-site measurement is an increasingly common way for manufacturers in aerospace, automotive, industrial and consumer products to verify tooling, inspect components, make meaningful comparisons with CAD data and assist in the reverse engineering of parts - without the downtime associated with off-site measurement.

Using Faro's latest Laser Tracker SI.2 and portable co-ordinate measurement machines (PCMMs), Visioneering can accurately - up to 10um - inspect and measure large parts, machine tools and other objects on-site, in-process or wherever is most convenient.

It can also be taken to a supplier's premises to check part-finished components or assemblies against original CAD data prior to completion.

In cases where there is dimensional dispute between two parties, laser measurement can be used as the final arbiter.

Visioneering UK's Chief Executive, Brian Horner, said: "On-site laser measurement is a rapidly developing and valuable technology that can help manufacturers in a wide range of industries to ensure accuracy, repeatability and quality, and to reduce costs".

"Visioneering has used laser measurement for several years to ensure the accuracy and quality of its own work in the automotive sector, and has employed Faro portable measurement equipment to assist its own customers".

"Our agreement with Faro allows the company to bring on-site measurement within the reach of more engineering companies".
