Press release: Shortening the set-up time for form measurements
The manual exchange and the associated repositioning of different workpieces or multiple measuring points generally take time. Such set-up times can be kept to a minimum with the right accessories. Unproductive machine times are therefore reduced, resulting in greater throughput.
A micrometer gives you the edge on the world champion
Fischer provides the skis for Nordic skiing’s global elite. One factor for success or failure is how the boards are cut. The manufacturer’s team of experts conduct measurements with an ACCRETECH SURFCOM TOUCH 50 to ensure that the skis have exactly the right roughness.
ACCRETECH opens Solution Center in the UK

Metrology solutions for e-mobility
The requirements for quality assurance in the automotive industry are changing. Spindles and ball bearings in electric cars, for example, must have an extremely high surface quality in order to avoid vibrations and keep noise levels as low as possible. High-precision measuring devices can help to increase efficiency in electromobility and thus provide a competitive advantage.
Interview with Marcus Czabon, Head of Business Unit Metrology
Frankfurt-born Marcus Czabon has been working for technology companies for many years, focusing on industrial metrology and machine tool building. He has been head of the Metrology division at ACCRETECH Europe in his adopted city of Munich since April 2020.
Balancing increases the efficiency of grinding processes
Any unbalance in a grinding wheel lowers the quality of a workpiece and costs money. In the worst-case scenario, downtimes occur. Automatic balancing systems permanently monitor the spindle vibrations and automatically correct grinding wheel unbalance within prescribed vibration tolerances.
Collecting and evaluating data for production control
Today, data is more important than ever in series production. The storage, analysis and evaluation of collected data volumes can contribute to the control of the plants and can be incorporated into the production process. A prerequisite for this is the simple recording and management of the available data.
Interview with Wolfgang Bonatz, Managing Director and CEO ACCRETECH (Europe) GmbH
Measurements in a production environment, digital factory, additive manufacturing – ACCRETECH Europe Managing Director Wolfgang Bonatz talks about the current trends in quality assurance.
Success Story: Highest precision despite complex workpieces
Geometrically complex workpieces are almost always a challenge for metrology, because size and shape make it difficult to reach the measuring points. However, especially with high-precision components, it is essential that tolerances are maintained. Therefore, Pankl Aerospace Systems was looking for a flexible solution for the quality assurance of their drive shafts.
Press release: ACCRETECH SBS presents for the first time its product portfolio for process control in grinding technology
