For engineers, this means faster workflows, reduced fatigue and fewer errors, translating into higher productivity and better measurement accuracy. The system’s flexibility also extends to a range of applications, from labelling and laser technologies to handling and the food industry.
Marcus Schneck, CEO of Norelem, said: “In addition to its versatility, the clamping systems are made to handle both single-time fixation and recurring measurement tasks. Should additional procedures be required, the modular design allows the systems to be easily adapted to meet those specific demands, ensuring engineers can always stay one step ahead.”
“At Norelem, we offer solutions that support various measurement techniques, from tactile measurements on coordinate measuring machines, to optical measurement procedures and surface and contour measurements. Our systems are built to offer engineers the flexibility they need in any scenario.”
The modularity of Norelem’s clamping systems is further enhanced by their range of combinable standard components, such as base holders, mounting modules, manipulation units and clamping elements. This means that engineers can assemble new configurations or reconfigure existing setups with minimal disruption.
According to Norelem, the system's resource-efficient and cost-effective nature saves time and materials, while its uniform interface ensures that all measuring points are accessible in a single setup, simplifying the measurement process and reducing the risk of user error.
Schneck added: “We have made the assembly and reconfiguration process easier by creating clamping component sets specifically designed for coordinate measuring machines, surface and contour measurements, and optical measurement systems. These sets contain a predefined selection of foundation, mounting, and clamping pieces, which enable users to easily create both simple and complex setups.”
Thanks to their wear-resistant and maintenance-free design, Norelem’s clamping systems are claimed to offer long-term durability, making them ideal for reuse without recalibration. Additionally, introducing a new quick-change pallet system allows for retooling outside the optical measuring device, further reducing downtime and boosting productivity.
