Welcome to 2012 and the Promise of a New Year - A Year of Opportunities

Whilst it's almost now the end of January I wanted to take this opportunity to wish all our customers, suppliers and newsletter subscribers a Happy New Year and to thank you all for your business in 2011. This year is the 20th anniversary for Hi-Tech Metrology and we are very much looking forward to the promise that the year holds for us all.

At Hi-Tech Metrology, as you all no doubt know, we have an exceptional array of the latest and leading edge measurement technologies form the world's leading equipment manufacturers - all supported and backed-up by our team of dedicated, experienced and passionate service and support team. We aim to give you our customers an even better level of service than that which we strived for and achieved in 2011, with a focus on continuous improvement in everything we do it is our hope to make it easier and even more enjoyable than ever to work with Hi-Tech.

We look forward to working with you again on your new projects and measurement challenges in 2012, anywhere, anyhow, anytime, with the best range of products and services aimed at helping you achieve the productivity gains that we are all striving for.

I hope you take a few moments to look through the items that we have included in this month's edition of the newsletter, from the user story on perhaps the oldest repetition engineering business in Victoria - Parish Engineering, to our new Romer Arm and Multi-Gauge calibration service - the only local calibration service in Australia that is available for the current generation of portable arms, and finally to the details of our series of PolyWorks V12 Webinars to be held on Thursday 9th February 2012 detailing the new and advanced features of PolyWorks - the world's No1 point cloud engineering software for manufacturing.

Local Repetition Engineering Identity - Parish Engineering, Gains Productivity Benefits from New Vision-Based Measurement System

Is Parish engineering the oldest remaining repetition engineering business in Victoria?

This is the question that was posed to us recently when we visited Parish to talk about their business and their latest acquisition - a vision-based measuring system from Hi-Tech Metrology.

Last week we met with Graeme Sinclair, the director of engineering of Parish Engineering at their Moorabbin facilities in the south-east suburbs of Melbourne, to talk about their business and to see how their latest acquisition - a Micro-Vu video based measuring system was performing after the first six-months of operation.

New Romer Absolute Arm Calibration Service - Fast Response and Rapid Turnaround

Hi-Tech Metrology is pleased to be able to announce that as from 1st February 2012 we will be providing local calibration of the new Romer Absolute range of portable arms and Multi-Gage products at our Melbourne head-office facility.

As many of us know, other brands of portable measuring arms have to go back overseas for calibration which is not only expensive but also leaves customers without their valuable portable CMM equipment for weeks or months at a time. But now, with the local service offered by Hi-Tech Metrology, clients will be able to pre-plan their calibration and see only minimal disruption to their production activities whilst the Arm is being calibrated and serviced locally - saving both time and money!

This is an Australian first for the latest generation of portable measuring arms as we are able to offer local calibration for these very popular Romer arms - with a super fast 2-3 day turnaround time.

PolyWorks V12 Webinars

During the week of 6-10th February we are pleased to be hosting a visit from senior applications specialist, Jean-Sebastien Blais from Canadian PolyWorks developer - InnovMetric Software Inc. for a series of internal training programs and 30 minute Webinars covering the features, benefits and new functionality available in PolyWorks V12.
