Manufacturers of large machine tools with close links to INRIM, the Italian National Metrology Institute.
Fida are listed here for two aspects of large volume metrology:
- Presentation on hydrostatic levelling system (HLS) development at 3DMC 2018
- Partnership in the EMPIR LaVA project led by NPL (http://empir.npl.co.uk/lava/)
Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences: Metrology Lab (P)
The lab offers diverse skills and facilities to support industrial measurement and metrology, e.g.
- EDM calibration line
- Structural monitoring and deformation analysis by total station
- Radio telescope evaluation by photogrammetric drone measurement
- Ship´s echo sounder alignment by laser tracker
The Future Metrology Hub’s vision is to transform the UK’s manufacturing performance by delivering significant improvements in the speed, accuracy and cost of measurement.
Research will resolve two key challenges:
- The integration of metrology into the design process.
- Smart data analytics systems to accurately and efficiently extract and exploit large metrology data sets from multi-scale sensor networks.
