September 15, 2016 - Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence announced its automated measurement work cell, the 360º Flexible Measurement Cell (360º FMC). Developed by Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence Integrated Solutions Business Unit, the 360º FMC is an automated measurement work cell designed to deliver all four pillars of automation in one solution: flexibility, footprint, throughput and performance. The 360º FMC is suited for automotive and aero structure applications, including powertrain, and closure panel fabrication to name a few uses for the solution.
The 360º FMC solution is built on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) work cell systems integrated with Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence measurement solutions. The 360º FMC solution enhances the manufacturing process by delivering actionable information. The power of the 360º Flexible Measurement Cell is that intelligence measurement systems return operational data to organizations, enabling fabricators to benefit from a data-driven manufacturing process.
The 360º FMC is scalable, portable and modular. The solution is offered in three configurations, ready for in line, near line or off line applications, and is adapted to any production space. Solutions are scalable as required by specific part size and measurement tasks.
