Werth Inc.

Werth Inc. manufactures high-accuracy optical and multisensor CMMs for shop floor and quality lab applications in all types of manufacturing, like automotive, medical, aerospace, defense, moldmaking, and electronics. Systems range from 2-D manual benchtop gages to large (gantry and bridge-type) 3-D measuring systems with up to six CNC axes utilizing video, laser, touch probe, microprobe sensors, image processing software, and X-ray tomography. | Werth Inc. is the U.S. subsidiary of family-owned Werth Messtechnik GmbH, pioneering coordinate measuring machines for more than 70 years. Headquartered in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, we deliver innovative multi-sensor metrology solutions with sub-micron and nanometer accuracy to North America’s most demanding industries. Our systems uniquely integrate optical, laser, tactile, and X-ray CT sensors on a single platform—eliminating multiple setups and destructive testing. Powered by our universal WinWerth® software, users gain offline programming, real-time GD&T, and advanced automation for faster, audit-proof results. As the world’s first accredited provider for CT-based CMM calibration, Werth sets the standard for traceable measurement. With over 10,000 machines installed globally, our customers reduce inspection time, increase throughput, and minimize scrap. Werth Inc. is your partner in precision—from aerospace and automotive to medical and electronics. | At Werth Inc., we don’t just measure parts—we unlock the future of quality control. As the U.S. subsidiary of family-owned Werth Messtechnik GmbH, founded in 1951 in Germany, we’ve been pioneering coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) for over 70 years. Headquartered in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, since 2003, we serve North America’s most demanding industries with innovative, multi-sensor solutions that deliver sub-micron accuracy without compromise. Our story began with simple profile projectors for the wire industry, evolving into groundbreaking technologies that redefined precision. Today, Werth leads in optical, probe, computed tomography (CT), and hybrid multi-sensor systems. From the 1977 Werth Tastauge optoelectronic sensor to the 2005 TomoScope®—the world’s first CT-specific CMM—we’ve patented over a dozen innovations, including the Werth Zoom (1999) for seamless magnification and the Fiber Probe® (1998) for micro-geometries. Our latest, the Chromatic Focus Zoom CFZ (2020), achieves nanometer precision at unprecedented speeds, while monoblock X-ray tubes cut measurement times by 5x. What sets us apart? True multi-sensor integration on a single platform. Imagine combining image processing, laser scanning, tactile probing, and X-ray CT in one machine—eliminating the need for multiple setups or destructive testing. Our WinWerth® software powers it all: offline programming, real-time GD&T analysis, and tools like ToleranceFit® for contour comparisons or AutoFeature for automatic geometric recognition. Werth wrote the book on traceable CT metrology: in 2003 we developed the first accreditation procedures for multi-sensor CMMs together with Germany’s National Metrology Institute (PTB), and in 2013 our DAkkS laboratory became the world’s first accredited facility for calibrating coordinate measuring machines equipped with X-ray tomography sensors. These milestones guarantee that every Werth system meets the strictest international standards and delivers audit-proof results for ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF 16949, VDI/VDE 2617, and medical device regulations. We serve aerospace leaders needing turbine blade inspections, automotive leaders optimizing engine components, medical device makers verifying implants, and electronics firms perfecting circuit boards. With over 10,000 machines installed globally, our solutions reduce inspection times by up to 70%, boost throughput, and minimize scrap—driving efficiency in high-volume and lights-out production. Werth’s global reach spans subsidiaries in the U.S., UK, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, and China, backed by 400+ experts (over 50% with technical degrees). As a family business, we invest heavily in R&D, fostering long-term growth with double-digit annual rates. Our commitment extends beyond machines: comprehensive training, on-site service across the lower 48 states, and demo centers ensure seamless adoption. At Werth Inc., we’re more than a supplier—we’re your partner in precision. Whether you’re tackling complex geometries or scaling for Industry 4.0, we help you measure up to tomorrow’s challenges.

Avalon Vision

Since 1991, Avalon Vision Solutions has delivered more than 4,000 machine vision systems to manufacturers around the world. Available in 14 languages and backed by global distributor support, Avalon’s solutions are designed to help manufacturers improve efficiency, protect critical assets, and maintain consistent product quality. Serving the plastics, injection molding, and die cast industries, Avalon offers a unique range of application-specific machine vision products that help customers increase profitability by minimizing downtime, protecting molds, and preventing defective parts or assemblies from being shipped. Avalon’s core product lines, MoldWatcher and ThermalWatch, provide advanced monitoring and inspection capabilities for plastics manufacturing. MoldWatcher helps prevent mold damage caused by stuck parts, misplaced inserts, and mechanical issues such as cores or slides being out of position. It also performs quality checks for conditions including short shots and excessive flash. ThermalWatch monitors for abnormal temperature variation in molds and parts and can also detect transparent parts that are difficult to verify with conventional methods. By combining mold protection, thermal monitoring, and quality inspection, Avalon helps manufacturers achieve safer, more efficient, and more reliable production.
