What is a CMM?

A Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) captures 3D data from objects to give the position (XYZ) of the object. CMMs are used by manufacturing companies to insure that parts or components are within defined tolerance levels for quality. 

 

 

 

What is the difference between a traditional and a portable CMM?

There are many types of CMMs. Traditional CMM include the bridge type, cantilever type, gantry type, etc. These are floor-mounted machines that require you to bring the parts to the CMM, unlike portable CMM that you can bring to the parts you need to measure.

 

 

 

What is the advantage of a portable measurement system?

A portable measurement device can be transported quickly and easily to multiple work sites, in varying environments, and operate within specification with no special calibration or adjustment procedures. Quite simply, the device should work right out of the box.

 

 

 

What does CAM mean?

Computer-Aided Machining or Manufacturing

 

 

 

What is CAD?

Computer-Aided Design. Software which replaces or augments manual drafting and design. Allows for parts to be designed using computer software, and stored in an electronic database.

 

 

 

What is a CMM?

A Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) captures 3D data from objects to give the position (XYZ) of the object. CMMs are used by manufacturing companies to insure that parts or components are within defined tolerance levels for quality. 

 

 

 

What does SPC mean?
Statistical Process Control refers to a process that engineers use to watch if parts that are starting to become out of tolerance. This is done by using data and watching the trends of the inaccuracy.

 

 

 

What does Reverse Engineering mean?
Reverse Engineering is the creation of design or CAD data from an existing or prototype part.

 

 

 

What means OMV
On Machine Verification describes a method of inspection used on a machine tool to check the part it just made using a probe. This is a widely used method but it lacks integrity as if the machine was incorrectly programmed to make the part it will inspect it the same way and not find the problem it created. This is the reason to have a CMM.

 

 

 

What is a FaroArm?
The FaroArm is a Multi-Axis articulated measurement arm used for a variety of applications including reverse engineering (modelling), and inspections.

 

 

 

What is a tracker?
A tracker is a measurement device that incorporates rotary encoders and a laser distance measurement in a closed-loop control system to track and measure the spatial position of a retro-reflective corner cube.

 

 

 

What is a Laser Scanner?
Laserscanning means that surfaces or 3D forms are swept over in a horizontal or grid pattern with a laser beam to measure or process these or to generate a 3D picture. Devices which lead the laser beam are called laser scanner.
