The company manufactures Optigo, a portable dimensional measurement platform, and OptiCell, an automated dimensional measurement tool for recurring measurements of parts and assemblies. CogniTens also develops CoreView Pro software, which provides comprehensive analysis of measurements, including surface deviation, edge point measurements, and closed-feature dimensions.
As part of Hexagon Metrology, CogniTens will continue to develop and introduce new products, closely support installations, and provide value added services for the benefit of its global customer base.
