Hexagon Thailand MD on TIGO SF

During the exhibition, Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence highlighted TIGO SF. This versatile, air-free high performance coordinate measuring machine for the shop-floor is designed to operate in harsh environments. Taveesak Srisuntisuk, Managing Director of Hexagon Thailand believes that this suitable for factory settings in Asia since the enhanced structural thermal compensation allows precise measurements in a temperature range from 15 to 30 °C. Aside from that the machine is fully equipped with covers and bellows to prevent contamination of the moving parts; the machine stand that houses the electronic equipment is also available in an IP54-certified version. Passive dampers protect the machine from most common vibrations on the shop floor.

When asked about the business in Thailand, Taveesak Srisuntisuk says business activities still looks gloomy. Growth for automotive industry, which is the main industry for Hexagon, continues to display a sluggish pace as it showed in the first few months of last year. To help boost business, Taveesak says he is studying other industries like the oil & gas industry. As a result, the company will join the oil & gas show in Thailand, as well as in Ho Chi Mihn. “We know that the oil & gas industry needs our products that is why we decided to participate in the roadshows.”
