The decision to add a high-speed-scanning CMM should be based largely on what it does, not how much it costs. Measurement uncertainty drops dramatically as the number of data points increases.
The new Renscan5 coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) from Renishaw Inc., Hoffman Estates, Ill. (renishaw.com), uses a touch probe or stylus to make measurements at up to 500 mm/sec (or 4,000 data ...
The growing adoption of portable and non-contact coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) is reshaping industrial metrology by delivering greater flexibility, speed, and measurement accuracy. These ...
Metronor (www.metronor.com) will feature its new portable system for scanning and probing directly in the object coordinate system without the use of targets or post-process patch stitching. The ...
Coordinate metrology is used by designers, engineers, and manufacturers to accurately gauge the characteristics of mechanical components. Coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) can make comparisons of ...
