The 3rd biennial Optical Metrology Meeting Announced
Posted: 2015-7-29
Xmark Media the organisers of Photonex 2015, the UK’s showcase photonics
conference & exhibition announce the programme and speakers for the 3rd
biennial meeting on Optical Metrology. This FREE-to-attend conference will
be held on Wednesday 14th October as part of the growing two-day event at
the visitor-friendly Ricoh Arena in Coventry.
Optical techniques are increasingly being used to perform high accuracy
measurements in aerospace, automotive and precision manufacturing. One
factor driving this growth is the industry need for higher product quality and
increased production numbers. Another is the development of technologies
which serve the market place, namely optical sources, detectors, computing
power and electronics. The meeting will bring together leaders from industry,
research institutes and universities to present and discuss ways of applying
the latest technologies and how these are applied to provide solutions in the
field of optical metrology.
One of the organising Technical Programme Committee and co-chairperson
for the meeting is Dr Roger Groves, Head of the Delft Aerospace Non-
Destructive Testing Laboratory, who speaks about the meeting. "The 2015
meeting will highlight Optical Metrology as a core element of smart
manufacturing, enabling both high quality production of complex materials
and efficient production through automation. It is a Key Enabling Technology
for the Factories of the Future helping the UK to retain international
competitiveness in this area."
Reinforcing the importance of the meeting to the optics community, fellow
committee member and industry veteran, Ian Johnstone, Director of
Armstrong Optical, says, "For anyone involved in metrology of any kind, a
couple of hours invested in a visit to the Optical Metrology meeting and
subsequent stroll around the exhibition will repay the time and effort
expended. With optics and the use of light becoming more and more
pervasive in society, previously unconsidered measurement questions can
now be answered. For example, with the need on a production line for 100%
part testing, how do you measure the thickness of the anodised layer on an
aluminium component? Visit Photonex 2015 and ask for me - I'll tell you how
to do it at the speed of light."
Attendees may also wish to attend "Laser Processes in Ultra Precision
Manufacturing" which is held on the following day. The full conference
includes 60 speakers over the two days of Photonex. There is something to
appeal to all everyone.
Photonex, now in its 24th year, reports increased number of stands at this
year’s exhibition with companies attending from across the globe to share
their latest technology from components to complete turnkey solutions
applying light technologies.
