Yes, you heard that right: Capture, analyze, and document four degrees of freedom (4 DoF) — in arcseconds and micrometers — simultaneously.
And we have done it again.
In Jena, at a world-renowned manufacturer of microscopes, we have successfully installed and commissioned a second ELWIMAT-VFS DualWave 4DoF measuring system.
Why is the customer doing this?
Modernization of existing assembly systems
Increased precision in the assembly process
Digital documentation instead of analog readings on paper
Fully automated data storage and report generation
Another step towards even greater micro-precision, process reliability, and modern manufacturing technology.
How do things look in your manufacturing and assembly?
Do you also still have measuring equipment from the post-war era?
Is it time to modernize? Do you need cost-effective entry-level solutions?
