REAL-WORLD PROJECT

Fixture Fabrication & Dimensional Support

Application
Manufacturing fixture fabrication alongside dimensional measurement support.
Challenge
Address fixture construction and dimensional verification together, supporting the positioning and clamping requirements of the manufacturing application.
Measurement Approach
Fixture fabrication coordinated with portable FARO Quantum measurement support to review fixture geometry as part of the same project workflow.
Project Outcome
The project combined fixture fabrication and metrology support, addressing both the physical tooling and its dimensional review.

REAL-WORLD PROJECT

Production Fixture Dimensional Verification

Application
On-site dimensional measurement of production fixture features using portable metrology.
Challenge
Review fixture geometry within a working manufacturing environment, where multiple locators, clamps and tooling components limit access to measurement points.
Measurement Approach
A FARO Quantum portable measuring arm positioned at the fixture provided access to selected tooling features for dimensional review on the shop floor.
Project Outcome
On-site measurement support helped the team review fixture features and identify areas requiring further engineering evaluation.

REAL-WORLD PROJECT

Automated Tooling Dimensional Inspection

Application
On-site dimensional inspection of tooling used in automated manufacturing assemblies.
Challenge
Access measurement points around rotary assemblies, locating features and clamping components while keeping the tooling on the manufacturing floor.
Measurement Approach
A tripod-mounted FARO Quantum portable measuring arm was positioned beside the tooling to support measurement of accessible features within the assembly.
Project Outcome
The on-site setup provided dimensional inspection support for tooling review and engineering evaluation of the manufacturing assembly.
