Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs)

CMMs (Coordinate Measuring Machines) are designed to measure single to hundreds of parts or gages when complex or high accuracy 3D measurements are required. With CMMs that can measure items with volumes up to 7 feet, we can calibrate, inspect or reverse engineer most products.

Used For:

• Dimensional Inspections
• In-Process Gage Calibrations
• Reverse Engineering

To ensure that we’re able to handle your project quickly and accurately, we are equipped with a variety of CMMs.

Specifications:

• Linear Accuracy: .00005” or .0002 mm
• Measuring Volume: 72” x 46" x 44" or 1800 mm x 1150 mm x 1100 mm

White Light Optical Scanning System

ATOS II is a flexible high-end 3D optical digitizing system that is based on the principle of triangulation. The ATOS projects fringe patterns onto the object to be scanned, while at the same time two cameras observe the scanning process. 3D coordinates of each pixel generated for the cameras are calculated with high precision. From this data a polygon mesh of the object’s surface is created. 3D digitizing with the mobile ATOS system works for all object sizes and complexities.

Used For:

• Reverse Engineering
• In-Process Gage Calibrations
• Non-Contact Inspection
• Fit & Function Analysis
• Rapid Prototyping
• Digital Mock-up
• Mold Validation
• Wear Studies

Specifications (with Photogrammetry):

• Accuracy (within 1' cube): .0008” or .02 mm
• Accuracy (within 5’ cube): .001” or .025 mm
• Accuracy (10’ cube or larger): .002” or .05 mm
• Measuring Volume: Unlimited

Vision Systems

A single sensor can’t do everything. Different part features lend themselves to measurement by different sensors. Video excels at measuring edges, lasers efficiently characterize surface profiles, touch probe is best for hard-to-reach places, and microprobes are great for tiny or delicate features. With a multisensor metrology system, you can use the best sensor for each situation.

Used For:

• Non-contact Reverse Engineering
• Contact/Non-contact Inspection
• Contact/Non-contact Calibrations

Specifications:

• Accuracy: .0001" or .003 mm
• Measuring Volume: 18" x 18" x 6" or 458 mm x 458 mm x 153 mm
