(Hexagon MI: North Kingstown, RI) -- Precision aerospace part manufacturer Alloy Specialties has become one of the first adopters of a new robotic quality inspection technology, Tempo, from Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division. Tempo has enabled the company to increase its production capacity and staff productivity through automation.

Tempo comes from a series of Hexagon products designed to help manufacturers begin automating their quality processes in a way that doesn’t require large-scale investment and disruption. The part loading system enables teams to queue multiple inspection jobs and sort rejected parts, and easy operation means anyone can operate a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). By using Tempo, Alloy Specialties is able to improve productivity by extending production time, improving labor efficiency throughout the day and aiding ‘lights-out’ operations.
