Alba Power has recently invested in their equipment with the addition of the FaroArm to their base in Netherley.
The robotic installation is a portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) that allows easy verification of product quality by performing 3D inspections, tool certifications, CAD comparison, dimensional analysis, reverse engineering and more. The hi-tech tool will be used to support the inspection team on site in Aberdeenshire and will offer further support services to Alba Power’s global customers.
Chris Field, Production Manager explained, “At Alba Power we continuously strive to provide our customers with premium quality parts and engines as quickly and as efficiently as possible. We decided to look for a measuring technology that would both enhance our accuracy capability and further increase our inspection throughput speed and have been delighted with the results of the FaroArm.”
He continued, “Following a short training course, our team of inspectors were able to quickly understand the FaroArm’s basic operation and as it is so easy to use, they gained further knowledge in everyday use. All are now extremely proficient in the FaroArm’s use and we have seen it continue to add value and quality to our work on a day-to-day basis.”
