The implants replace loss or lack of functionality of jaw movement. To underpin their production, the firm invested in 2012 in additive manufacturing (AM) technology and recently acquired CT inspection equipment from Nikon Metrology for quality control.
The remarkable sales success of Aberlink’s recently launched Xtreme Coordinate Measuring Machine has justified the company’s contention that industry needed a cost-effective, robust CMM that could provide accurate measurements at the point of manufacture.
The metrology industry has seen incredible changes over recent years, both in terms of the supplier base and the types of measuring technology on offer.
There was a time when the metrology tool of choice was the traditional granite-based CMM, and for many organisations that is still the case. However, there are now many other types of disruptive technologies available, such as white-light scanning, red and blue lasers, portable arms, laser trackers, photogrammetry, … the list goes on, all making claims to be the “new standard” in metrology.
As even the smallest numbers of contaminants can multiply during the brewing process, ensuring that outstanding levels of hygiene are maintained is vital to the effective production of quality beer.
The avoidance of contaminants helps to guarantee the delivery of a high quality product and prevents the possibility of revenue losses through the production of a spoil batch.
