Two global metrology companies, Nikon and Wenzel, have formed a new partnership in the form of a distribution agreement.

The partnership provides customers with a combination of innovative CMMs and Nikon Metrology’s laser scanning technology.

Nikon Metrology Europe and Wenzel announce their new distribution partnership, commencing April 2020. The distribution partnership means Wenzel becomes an official Nikon Metrology partner for the sales and distribution of Nikon Metrology laser scanning products in the European market.

Wenzel’s expertise and innovation in the CMM market, and Nikon Metrology’s laser scanning technology will support the European customer base with metrology solutions to meet a wide variety of applications, industries and requirements.

To meet the demands of Industry 4.0 and mutual customers, the collaboration of Nikon Metrology and Wenzel efficiently delivers innovative CMM-based laser scanning solutions throughout Europe.

Carsten Georgi, laser radar & laser scanning sales director at Nikon Metrology said: “The partnership between Nikon Metrology Europe and Wenzel brings two innovative companies together to meet the increasing market demands of our mutual customers.”

Dr Heike Wenzel, CEO of the Wenzel Group, added: “We are pleased about the new distribution partnership with Nikon Metrology and are looking forward to future cooperation. By using Nikon sensors on a Wenzel CMM, Wenzel provides its customers with an additional benefit.

“Due to the extended portfolio of optical sensors, the right sensor for each customer can be offered in terms of measuring time, accuracy and level of detail. Also CMMs in use can be upgraded by Wenzel with the new optical sensors. All this is rounded off by the use of our powerful measuring software WM | Quartis in which the complete Nikon Metrology sensor portfolio is integrated.”

With Industry 4.0 practices integrating all areas of manufacturing to improve the efficiency of production processes, laser scanning is a key component in its implementation. In the production environment, laser scanning helps to obtain a rapid insight into deviations, a significant benefit of high-speed digital data capture. With the support of Wenzel’s high precision and reliable coordinate measuring machines, this partnership delivers precise and innovative solutions, ready for Industry 4.0.
