Coordinate Measuring Machines
Filter by Process Zone:
High-Performance Height Gauge
Mitutoyo America Corp.’s QM-Height Series measures height, height difference (step), inside/outside widths, inside/outside diameters, circle pitch, and free-form surface max/min heights to ±(2.4+2.1L/600) μm. Simple-to-use control panel enables most measurements to be made with one keystroke.
LK Metrology Enters Portable Measuring Arm Market
The coordinate measuring machine (CMM) manufacturer is entering the portable measuring arm market with the Freedom line of 24 3D articulating arms. A 6-axis model for touch probing and a 7-axis version for multisensor metrology including laser scanning are available in two accuracy levels.
Higher-Resolution Addition to AICON SmartScan Range
Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence’s R12 is a 12-megapixel version of the company’s AICON SmartScan white light scanner. The higher-resolution camera increases the accuracy of a system known for versatility and portability.
Exact Metrology Set to Open New Center in Moline
Software and hardware training for customers will be a major focus of the new location.
LK Metrology Launches New CMM Measurement Services Department
Michigan-based Tech Center houses facility with the latest metrology software.
Affordable Automated Shop Floor Inspection
Fowler High Precision and Verisurf Software partner to offer a lightweight direct computer control (DCC) coordinate measuring machine (CMM) loaded with zCAT software. Because the combination enables in-process inspection, the same employee making the part can now measure the part.
Two Measurement Solutions from Mitutoyo
The multisensor MiSCAN Vision System is a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) with a microscopic-level scanning probe. The compact MiSTAR 555 is a space-saving in-line or near-line CNC CMM designed for high-speed, high-accuracy measurements with assurance from 10° C to 40° C.
CMMs Increase Productivity in Specialized Manufacturing Sectors
Hexagon’s Leitz Reference BX coordinate measuring machine (CMM) accelerates blade and glass measurement up to 50%, addressing long-standing challenges faced by aAerospace and consumer electronics manufacturers. Multisensor 3D OPTIV M CMM gives manufacturers of small and medium precision parts greater configuration flexibility.
Multisensor Metrology Speeds Automotive Component Inspection
The Hungarian automotive control system manufacturer Continental processes 1,500 inspection reports every year. Cycle times are twice as fast with a LK Metrology ALTERA 8.7.6 coordinate measuring machine (CMMs) that has a laser scanner and a touch probe.
Independent CMM Calibration Business Launched
API launches Independent Coordinate Measuring Machine Certification and Recalibration Service including 21-degree error-map creation.
Automated Optical CMM with Cobot
The optical µCMM from Bruker Alicona can measure extremely tight tolerances with high accuracy using a six-axis cobot arm to automatically pick, place, measure and sort (ok/not ok) parts in production.
Under Contract: Automated CMM Operations
A manual inspection process using an arm is almost impossible to replicate, so shops hire Laser Scanning to run automated CMM programs for them that are highly repeatable.
