Precision perfected with our digital twin

Achieve unrivaled precision with real-time thermal compensation.

What is TPM?

Thermal Precision Monitoring (TPM) is an advanced real-time thermal compensation solution that reconstructs temperature fields using model order reduction and temperature probe data.

It enables accurate thermal displacement estimation, allowing for precise thermal error compensation in industrial machines without requiring extensive operational data.
