(Nikon Metrology: Leuven, Belgium) -- Nikon Industrial Metrology presents an exciting new metrology system for manufacturers seeking to measure the geometry of medium-to-large parts—from a car door, casting, or fabrication to a whole car chassis or airframe structure. APDIS Intelligent Quality (IQ) stations offer a range of laser radar solutions as alternatives to traditional, slow, monolithic, inflexible panel machines and large-volume, horizontal-arm CMMs.

“Nikon’s noncontact laser radars are already used by major OEMs on a global scale to measure thousands of parts every day, both in metrology rooms and on shop floors,” says Paul Lightowler, APDIS global product manager. “APDIS IQ stations now provide complete turnkey solutions from Nikon, utilizing the speed and data quality improvements of the latest-generation MV430E laser radar to give fully automated measurement stations that are simple to program, fast to measure, and flexible to install.”
