“Our experience with OGP over the last eight years has been very positive. We feel as though the relationship is ongoing, as a partnership should be.” Largely thanks to its flagship Vantage machines – which work to sub-micron precision on even the most demanding components, with unparalleled speed - OGP UK has become a key player in industries like medical, automotive and aerospace. The intuitive ZONE3 metrology software utilised by the Vantage range offers full 3D CAD-based programming to automatically and effortlessly generate measurement routines. Graham Shaw, Sales Manager at Derbyshire- based OGP UK, said: “More and more manufacturers are discovering that OGP systems are a must-have for ensuring the levels of precision required in their industry. Fewer rejects, minimal rework and faster product-to-market times are just some of the benefits. Mr Lawson added: “OGP offered a full turnkey system, so we were able to give one or two of the components we had just won with our customers and work with OGP for them to develop the software and programmes, such that those programmes were fully verified with the equipment. “During the development of the new parts, you often have hiccups. What we found was that OGP was very responsive – we were able to work together to get through technical problems and solutions, and I think that for me was a game-changer. “It’s more than just buying the hardware and equipment – it’s really how you utilise and get the most out of it. “Our solutions provide live, accurate, consistent and holistic data in the heart of the production environment, giving businesses total peace of mind that their parts will always be of the necessary standard and therefore leading to significantly increased throughput.” www.carfulan.com/ Issue 38 PECM 15
