Case study: Kawasaki - Five-axis CMM inspection lets "good times roll" in QC department at small engine plant (pdf)

Scanning probes speed form-data collection and feedback to machining cells, reduce CMM fixturing and cut probe calibration time from hours to minutes at Kawasaki's Maryville, MO plant. Increased measurement throughput and flexibility allow faster feedback to manufacturing and R&D department, while scanning CMMs may ultimately eliminate inspection systems for gears and cam lift.
