CONTRACT CMM PROGRAMMER · NATIONWIDE

On-site PC-DMIS programming, on the machine

Thirty years in precision metrology, brought straight to the floor — the program gets written, proved out, and signed off against the actual part, not a model of it.

Programming help that shows up in person

Most of this gets done remotely, working off a CAD file. Here, it happens standing at the machine instead — where fixture quirks, surface finish, and print oddities actually show up.

WHY ON-SITE
The fixture doesn't sit right, the surface finish throws the probe off, or the print doesn't quite match the part. That's where remote programming stalls.

Better to find that out standing next to the machine than over email. One visit: program written, proved out, and signed off — no back-and-forth waiting on a file that "should" work.

ABOUT

Thirty years on the measurement side of manufacturing

Tim Hogan has spent close to three decades in precision metrology — starting as a hands-on CMM programmer, then moving through applications engineering and sales leadership roles with Hexagon Metrology, Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, and other metrology and inspection companies.

That path means the programming side was never separate from the shop-floor reality of it: fixturing that doesn't match the drawing, prints with a callout that's slightly off, a probe path that looks fine on screen and stalls on the machine. On-site work is where that experience actually pays off.
