(Nikon Metrology: Leuven, Belgium) -- Nikon Metrology and Magestic Systems Inc. (MSI) jointly introduce an innovative fabrication solution for increasing production of right-first-time composite parts that harnesses the vast capabilities of both Nikon Metrology’s Laser Radar technology and MSI’s Ply Compensation System (PCS). The benefits of this methodology are twofold: first, manufacturers can overcome the difficult engineering specifications set in place for composite parts; and second, they can  achieve success with minimal waste.

The synergy between Magestic Systems’ PCS and Nikon Metrology’s Laser Radar offers composite part manufacturers a seamless solution—utilizing metrology, ply nesting, and laser projection technologies to produce composite parts within engineering tolerances. By combining Laser Radar and PCS technologies, manufacturers put in place an automated Metrology Assisted Production process that delivers parts of predictable quality, while rigorously reducing scrap and maintaining accuracy, scalability, and ease of use.
