New Product Development
New Products are key to
AMETEK’s future success.
Continuous investments in
research, development and
engineering drive the company’s
long-term, sustainable growth.
Through these investments and strategic
acquisitions, the company has evolved its
product portfolio to offer solutions with more
highly differentiated, advanced technology. Today,
AMETEK is a leader in many high-tech industries
including ultraprecise measurement, elemental
analysis, advanced motion solutions, 3D scanning
and high-speed imaging.
AMETEK’s businesses unveiled dozens of new
products and solutions in 2018 that are solving
its customers’ most complex challenges. For
example, AMETEK Creaform, a leader in 3D
measurement technology, introduced its fully
automated coordinate measurement system
known as CUBE-R™. This fully enclosed solution
inspects hundreds of components of varying size
per day, with metrology-grade volumetric accuracy.
The CUBE-R™ allows Creaform’s customers to
implement enhanced quality control processes
in a reliable, compact and safe environment.
