As manufacturers work with smaller features, more complex geometries and tighter tolerances, traditional inspection methods can become increasingly time-consuming. Parts may require several measurement technologies or multiple setups, while delicate surfaces and difficult-to-access features can create additional challenges for conventional tactile probes.

In this on-demand Manufacturing Today webinar, Hexagon explores how optical and multi-sensor coordinate measurement can help manufacturers simplify the inspection of complex components. The session examines how the OPTIV S optical CMM combines vision, tactile and chromatic white light sensors, enabling different features to be inspected within a single setup rather than moving components between separate measurement systems.

Through practical application examples, the webinar also looks at how multi-sensor technology and AI-assisted capabilities within PC-DMIS can simplify inspection and programming. Early application testing of OPTIV S achieved approximately 15 percent shorter inspection cycles alongside improved measurement performance, demonstrating how quality teams can increase inspection capacity and provide faster feedback to production.

Watch the webinar to discover:

• How vision, tactile and chromatic white light sensors can be combined within a single inspection process
• How multi-sensor measurement can reduce multiple setups and improve inspection flexibility
• How optical measurement can address features that are difficult to access using traditional tactile probes
• How OPTIV S can increase measurement throughput while maintaining confidence in results
• How AI-assisted capabilities in PC-DMIS can simplify programming and support more consistent inspection
