Hexagon launched Metrical, an automated queuing, loading and unloading system designed to enable autonomous inspection on coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). The system supports parts of all sizes and integrates with Hexagon’s existing and new CMM portfolio. Metrical increases CMM throughput and utilization by reducing idle time between measurement cycles. It offers three scalable configurations with three, five or seven preparation bays to match inspection capacity with production volumes. The solution enables unattended inspection across multiple shifts, allowing operators to focus on programming and analysis. Its visual software interface simplifies task setup and provides real-time production monitoring.
