Manufacturers and buyers expect flawless products. That is why procedures for seamless quality management are essential in every industry. Even the smallest defects, such as scratches, pores, dents, cavities or impact marks in the surface can lead to expensive complaints, safety deficiencies, loss of functionality and even functional failures. These cause high costs if they are not detected until later in the manufacturing process. Complex geometric or safety- or function-critical components must also be reliably manufactured with consistently high quality to ensure that the company's reputation is not damaged.
The requirements in the manufacturing industry, such as in the automotive, medical, aerospace and tool and mold making industries, are rising continuously. Increasing quantities and high precision results at the same time demand flexible and accurately fitting machining technologies when machining workpieces.
