In Chelyabinsk in the Southern Urals, SMS Meer
set up a large-diameter pipe mill that offers
product quality down to the last detail. As the
complete plant was engineered and built by
SMS Meer, all the components and interfaces
function perfectly together. A particular character-
istic is the extremely high degree of automation,
with no less than 47 machining stations in the
production process. Furthermore, the plant is
one of the cleanest of its type. The customer,
ChTPZ Group, speaks of “white metallurgy“ –
and chose the colour of the workers‘ clothing
to match.
Quality unites – a fact that our customers and
we discover time and again with every new
project. Together we develop solutions that
give our partners the competitive edge in their
business. Thanks to this good cooperation,
SMS Meer is a leading international company
in heavy machinery and plant engineering.
New software for advanced
3D view
IN order to ensure consistent measure-
ment data quality, each AiMESS 3D
measuring system is calibrated before
delivery and regularly checked on-site.
This is mainly done with the help of
artefacts. At the trade show Control, the
German artefact manufacturer AiMESS
will showcase a new high-performance
software package called tetronom
Analyzer 3 that automatically analyses
the measurement data collected with
artefacts.
This not only scores the software
with a modern design but also offers a
3D view of the artefact that makes the
allocation of the measurement points
and thus the handling of the software
easy. Moreover, the software package
provides a graphic and alphanumeric
representation of the results (eg as trend
analysis and measurement uncertainty
diagram) according to valid standards
and guidelines (DIN EN ISO 10360
and VDI/VDE 2617/2634). To simplify
the interpretation of the measurement
results, they are shown in a colour-
coded way (red/green) including
deviation parameters. The measured
and calculated data is stored in a data
base with multi-user access.
tetronom Analyzer 3 is suitable
for all companies that monitor
portable or stationary 3D measuring
systems with the help of artefacts.
Furthermore, the software has proven
to be useful for measurement service
companies, calibration laboratories
and manufacturers of coordinate
measurement systems. tetronom
Analyzer 3 can be acquired “stand-
alone” or bundled with one or more
artefacts.
At Control, tetronomAnalyzer 3 will be
at booth 7203 in hall 7.
AiMESS Products GmbH, based in
Burg, Germany, was founded in August
2009 as a subsidiary of AiMESS
Services GmbH. The company’s
managing directors are David Nabs
and Hendrik Richter, two measurement
experts with many years of professional
experience. Due to their in-depth
technical knowledge, the young venture
has quickly become an important
market player. AiMESS manufactures
infrared 3D scanners and innovative
artefacts for stationary and portable
measuring systems. Moreover, the
company produces measurement
adapters and accessories for portable
3D measuring systems. In German
speaking countries, AiMESS also acts
as authorised reseller of measuring
systems made by Solutionix and Third
Dimension.
