OGP UK have welcomed the versatile large-capacity platform into their demonstration facility. Part of OGP’s flagship SmartScope range, the Vantage 450 is designed to combine a variety of sensors for full three-dimensional measurement. This involves touch and scanning probes, optical sensors, patented TeleStar® TTL lasers, and more. The 450 is designed to measure larger parts…

OGP metrology machines are advanced platforms that often combine multiple sensors to analyse an object. Despite the general evolution of measuring machines, they still differ in their strengths and methods. There are several different technologies that can group these machines together, as we’ll explore below: CMMs Coordinate-measuring machines obtain an accurate geometry of a part…

OGP (Optical Gaging Products) is a division of Quality Vision International Inc. (QVI®), a world-leading manufacturer of precision multi-sensor metrology systems for industrial quality control. Established over 75 years ago, OGP’s machine line began in 1992 with the SmartScope family, which has gone on to become one of the world’s most popular and trusted measurement…

Industry 4.0 is the fourth industrial revolution. It represents the digitisation of industry, an age bolstered by automation and interconnected machines that learn and make decisions with the help of AI informed by real-time data. In simple terms, it’s the industrial Internet of things. There are many ways that machines can be integrated into these…

Applied metrology can be carried out to measure parts and production pieces in a variety of ways. Often, the best solutions lie behind utilising several types of metrology systems, and fortunately, OGP has crafted multi-sensor platforms such as the SmartScope and Vantage that allow you to use these solutions in tandem on one machine. First,…

Having access to a metrology machine is a benefit that companies can’t discount in an increasingly digitised, post-COVID landscape. Metrology is an essential part of quality control, employing complex and thorough measurements of data points to analyse an object. In manufacturing, this essentially means ensuring that parts are to specification and within tolerances. We’ve already…

Metrology is, in its simplest definition, the scientific study of measurement. From an industry standpoint, this means so much more than simply measuring parts and comparing numbers. Metrology takes what we learn from measuring and applies it in pursuit of accuracy, reliability, and most importantly, repeatability. Employing effective metrology systems means that users in fields…
