The Metrology Division of Leica Geosystems has signed a collaboration agreement with Metrologic Group which will supply its machines 3D measurement mobile (CMM) under the license of MetrologXG, equipping its products with the best software available in the market inspection as well as standard.
The already existing association in Europe has now expanded to include global distribution agreement and intensify the collaboration. Within the framework of the agreement, Leica Geosystems will sell under license MetrologXG, MetrologV5, and all software options. Turn Metrologic will develop to Leica a specific version of MetrologXG to be called the "MetrologXG for Leica", a name that symbolizes the equal importance of both companies and their technologies in this cooperation.
"This software is a platform that will allow our customers to work with any portable Leica Geosystems (PCMM) coordinate measuring machines on the same platform of software than other major CMM machines." "So get considerable savings and increased efficiency", says Walter Mittelholzer, President of the Metrology Division. "All Leica measuring machines are completely integrated in the CAD process, from obtaining the data from the project until the completion of reports tailored to the needs of the client and understandable to all."
Specific functions will be developed to ensure that "MetrologXG for Leica" work in the best possible way for Local positioning (LPT) technology in portable CMM machines of Leica. The Union of all these capabilities will be available to end users monitoring machines laser (trackers), T-Probe and optical CMM probes of Leica more advanced solution.
Leica Geosystems has been promoting MetrologXG since March 2004 as an option for use with their machinery Traker and T-Probe. The remarkable success achieved by the Union of these two products has led to Leica Geosystems to decide by MetrologXG as their standard software solution.
Philippe Cimadomo, President and CEO of Metrologic says: "the CMM industry is moving towards the optical solutions and systems users prefer to invest in solutions that offer greater mobility and versatility." "Therefore, the combination of systems mobile metrological Leica Geosystems and standard industrial inspection of Metrologic software has become an advanced option of excellent value for money."
"Leica Geosystems and Metrologic Group work together to create a more powerful optical CMM solution for applications of inspection and assembly industries aerospace, automotive and other sectors requiring equal accuracy", concludes Walter Mittelholzer, Leica Geosystems.
