Success story: Eumetron GmbH – Global spearhead in the calibration of reference standards using RONDCOM

The DAkkS-accredited laboratory of eumetron GmbH in Aalen, Germany offers DAkkS calibra-tions traceable to national standards with an extremely high level of accuracy that is unri-valled worldwide. The experts use special procedures to calibrate plug gauges, setting rings, calibration spheres and hemispheres as well as test specimens and other reference standards or reference workpieces. Standards are used to adjust, calibrate, check and set dimensional measuring systems and are therefore important tools in quality assurance. When it comes to roundness measurement, eumetron GmbH relies on two RONDCOM form measuring devices from ACCRETECH. In doing so, eumetron GmbH achieves measurement uncertainties of just ten nanometres.

Success story: ARRI Cine Technik – Highest quality with an internal wafer inspection

ARRI Cine Technik is known as the leading producer of high-end film cameras and a key to their success is their commitment to the highest quality standards. As the image sensor is a critical component in every camera, ARRI decided to introduce its own in-house inspection process. The quality check should occur very early in production before the sensors are mounted into the camera. A precise and automated wafer handling system was therefore required, and ARRI Cine Technik approached wafer processing specialist ACCRETECH for solutions.

ACCRETECH launches a new generation of the ATC system

Is tool run-out spoiling your milling process? This can be caused by swarf or chips entering the tool chuck, wear on the tool-holder or at the spindle interface. The entry of chips into the tool taper can be particularly prominent during high-speed cutting of aluminium parts. The introduction of run-out into the tool, especially on higher value parts, can be costly in scrap, for example during machining of transmission and compressor cases, ABS system parts and cylinder blocks.
