Experience 3D Optical Metrology for the Shop Floor -live at GrindingHub 2026

How does metrology become part of an automated manufacturing process?

At GrindingHub, Bruker Alicona will demonstrate how inline 3D measurement, closed-loop quality assurance, and automated press setup are setting new standards in tool manufacturing.

Visit us at Booth D17, Hall 7 and experience measurement technology right in the middle of the production process.

Take a Sneak Peek of our Booth Highlights

Inline 3D measurement technology in the automated Streamfinish process

Live at the booth, we’ll be demonstrating this together with OTEC Präzisionsfinish:

Automated cutting edge preparation with integrated SensorX

Your benefits:

Cutting edge rounding from 5–100 µm
Process times under 1 minute
Inline measurement directly during the machining process
Closed-loop control between machining and quality assurance
100% inspection instead of sampling

The result: longer tool life, more stable processes, and reproducible cutting edge quality.
