As production demands grow more complex, quality teams face increasing pressure to meet tighter tolerances, without overcomplicating workflows or overspending on features they don’t need. High-end surface and form measurement systems offer advanced capabilities, but they often exceed real-world requirements. Meanwhile, more accessible options may lack the depth, automation, and traceability required for modern QA environments.
This gap in the mid-range market leaves many manufacturers stuck, either over-investing in lab-grade equipment or relying on ageing manual testers that are slow, operator-dependent, and prone to inconsistency.
That’s where Figura from Bowers Group comes in. Purpose-built to bridge this divide, Figura combines the precision of advanced systems with the usability, speed, and affordability production teams need.
Capable of measuring surface finish, contour, and roundness with high accuracy, Figura is ideal for inline and near-line use. Its modular design, compact footprint, and rugged construction, including anti-vibration technology and temperature sensors, make it reliable in real-world shop floor conditions. Optional anti-collision protection adds safety in high-traffic areas.
Where traditional systems treat automation as a premium, Figura includes it by default. Built-in digital traceability, real-time SPC, and one-click ISO, BS, DIN, ASME, and JIS-compliant reporting simplify quality control and speed up audit readiness. It also eliminates the need for separate software tools, thanks to seamless Excel and PDF export functions.
Designed for efficiency, the intuitive interface and ergonomic build support quick setups and reduced operator fatigue. Whether inspecting new parts or assessing wear on returned components, Figura supports lean production, circular economy goals, and reduced rework and scrap through consistent, repeatable measurements.
In sectors where time, quality, and compliance are non-negotiable, Figura helps manufacturers meet standards without overextending budgets or resources. It’s more than a measurement system, it’s a productivity tool that delivers sustainability, accuracy, and control.
For businesses modernising from manual processes or scaling up to meet tighter tolerances, Figura offers a smart, future-ready solution that keeps production moving and quality uncompromised.
