en.Wedoany.com Reported - Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division recently announced the launch of an upgraded version of Pulse for real-time monitoring of Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) environments. This solution helps manufacturers improve measurement quality and result reliability, and better cope with temperature, humidity, vibration, and shock changes on the shop floor.
The upgraded Pulse expands the monitoring scope beyond the CMM equipment itself, continuously collecting environmental data such as probe deflection to reduce errors and rework risks caused by external factors. Luca Sala, Product Manager for Digital Solutions at Hexagon, stated: "As metrology moves closer to the production line, manufacturers need a clearer understanding of the environmental conditions affecting measurement reliability. Pulse complements CMM capabilities by extending sensing beyond the machine itself, helping customers maintain accuracy, reduce downtime, and operate with greater confidence in real production environments."
In application scenarios closer to production, shop floor environments are often more dynamic. Temperature fluctuations or accidental collisions may affect inspection results, and operators may not be able to detect them promptly. To address this, Pulse has added native integration capabilities with automation and factory systems. Leveraging Hexagon's Metrology Communication Interface (MCI), Pulse data can be uniformly accessed by PLCs, MES platforms, dashboards, and automation software without requiring additional IT integration.
Simultaneously, the system has enhanced probe deflection sensing capabilities, making it easier to distinguish between general vibrations and collision events that may require recalibration, helping teams make judgments faster. Pulse has also improved interoperability, allowing integration with third-party systems and supporting more sensors and functional expansions. The solution now covers all Hexagon CMMs and can also be used in mixed equipment environments, facilitating unified environmental monitoring standards for manufacturers. New customers can purchase the complete solution directly, while existing Pulse users can upgrade via plug-and-play sensors and software updates, with installation typically completed in about 5 minutes.
