Increasing Energy Efficiency Through the Use of Advanced Metrology
Sponsored by Zygo CorporationJan 6 2021
Many automotive OEMs are prioritizing lightweighting as part of their adherence to precise emission and engine efficiency guidelines. Large iron engines and components are increasingly being replaced with aluminum and other lightweight alloys, capable of matching the strength of iron with no adverse weight implications.
Cutting-edge optical metrology tools are central to the efficient manufacture of a wide range of lightweighted engine components.
Many initiatives have taken place in recent years, aiming to reduce vehicle emissions while increasing overall efficiency. The automotive sector has had to shift significant resources to better optimizing engine performance, either due to concerns around climate change or helping to safeguard economies against fluctuating fuel costs or potential fuel shortages.
