Hexagon Opens Montreal Certification Center

Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division will open a dedicated Hexagon certification center in Montreal, Canada, in cooperation with its strategic partner Amrikart Ultraprecision. Amrikart offers 3D measurement and alignment services and automated solutions to improve the manufacturing and assembly of small to large-scale products. Hexagon offers sensor, software and autonomous solutions.

The facility will be in Amrikart’s Technology Center, located in the greater Montreal area at 3605 Rue Isabelle, Brossard, QC. This location will serve as a Leica Absolute Tracker calibration laboratory for servicing new or used laser trackers. The certification laboratory is supported by Amrikart’s Hexagon-trained service engineers. Hexagon’s calibration process is designed to ensure equipment performance, which can minimize downtime and maintain accurate measurement results throughout the lifetime of a laser tracker. Amrikart develops and integrates metrology solutions for advanced manufacturing and automation using Hexagon technologies.

“It is a privilege to partner with Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division, a world leader in high precision metrology solutions. The Canadian manufacturing industry is increasingly utilizing new generation technologies... The new dedicated Canadian certification center will ensure reliable, countrywide support and improve the availability of 3D metrology solutions,” said Jeremy Arpin-Pont, general manager of Amrikart Ultraprecision.

“It only made sense to partner with Amrikart to open a Hexagon Absolute Tracker calibration lab in support of our large installed base across Canada. The new lab eliminates the need to ship systems across the border for certification and calibrations,” states David Hill, commercial operations manager – Canada, Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division.
