Aberlink and WMH Robotics: The Future of Collaborative Metrology
We have recently appointed WMH Robotics as our preferred supplier of automation solutions for our entire CNC CMM range. This partnership with WMH Robotics will allow us to offer our customers a fully integrated automation solution from the point of installation.
This allows our CMMs to be automatically loaded with parts by a Universal Robots Cobot, inspected, segregated into good/bad components and tool offset correction automatically sent back to a CNC control.
Our Sales Director Chris Davies had this to say about the new partnership:
With a meteoric rise of Industry 4.0. and the use of digital twins for entire manufacturing processes, unmanned closed loop CMM inspection within any manufacturing process is a must. Partnering with WMH Robotics and offering an Automation interface and automatic tool offset correction option enables us to compete in this arena with a fantastic value-for-money offering.? And, fully automatic temperature compensation enables the Extol shop floor CMM to withstand significant temperature change whilst maintaining excellent absolute metrology performance.
Visit our stand (Hall 19-729) at MACH 2024 and see automation with our Extol CMM in action.
John Prosser bids farewell to Helpdesk after 16 years of service
If you ever rang Aberlink for technical support with a CMM or help with measuring your components, then there's a good chance you spoke to John.
John embodies everything we stand for here at Aberlink. He has been an absolute asset to our growth as a company and our customers. His professionalism and wealth of knowledge will be missed and we wish him a happy and healthy retirement.
What does that mean for the future of helpdesk?
Mike Anders has also been with the company for 16 years. He started as a production engineer, building CMMs that some of you may still have measuring your parts today.

Mike then moved to the Service & Calibration department before taking on the role of Helpdesk support. Mike knows our machines inside-out from a production, service, calibration, and measurement perspective and is already continuing John's work to the same high standard.
We don't have automated telephone systems when you contact us, we answer each call promptly and help all of our customers with any problems they might have. Our support is world-class and we are happy to help, whatever your problem is.
Thanks for all your hard work John, and also to Mike for filling some big shoes!
