Case study: (IN110) Case study: TURBOCAM International - TURBOCAM “high fives” revolutionary inspection technology (pdf)

Constantly changing surface geometries, pin-wheeling shapes and tight, intricate features make turbomachinery components — impellers, blades and blisks — some of industry’s most complex and exacting shapes. TURBOCAM International achieved leadership in this specialized field by mastery of five-axis machining and five-axis programming software. However, efficient inspection of ever increasing numbers of complex parts was frustrated by slow, tedious, stop-and-go measurement inspection on a legacy 3+2 axis coordinate measuring machine (CMM).
