The Hawk systems are utilised in many industries for non-contact measurement, where accuracy, repeatability and reproducibility are crucial in most production and quality departments.

Steve Marsh, International Metrology Manager from Vision Engineering explains.

“We are very proud to be sending the 1000th Hawk out the professional door, which has exceeded our expectations in its versatility for non-contact measurement. We have a wide range of customers from the individual users to large number of blue chip companies that utilise the Hawk worldwide, and they all stress how important it is in their quality procedures for checking high accuracy components, often down to very tight tolerances. We have seen a lot of changes in the system, now incorporating video edge detection, so our customers can measure their components utilising both optical and video measurement within the same measurement routine. Now with LED illumination, we are always looking for ways to improve the systems and we hope in the near future the Hawk systems will provide many more companies with the non-contact measurement solutions they require”.
