This course is designed for inspection personnel, engineering personnel, production personnel, entry level inspectors, and those who would like to enter into the field of dimensional measurement and CMM programming.
What does CMM machine stand for?
coordinate measuring machine
A coordinate measuring machine, also known as a CMM, is a piece of equipment that measures the geometries of physical objects. CMMs using a probing system to detect discreet points on the surfaces of objects.
What are CMM services?
CMMs are industrial inspection tools that measure the dimensional accuracy of manufactured goods. This is a crucial step to monitoring production quality to ensure large-sized parts meet design specifications for use in critical applications.
What is a CMM test?
A classic, bridge-style coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) accurately measures the geometry of an object along X, Y and Z axes using a touch-trigger, scanning or vision probe to take a series of precise points on the surface of an object.
What are the different types of CMM?
There are four types of CMMs, so let’s talk about them.
- Bridge Type CMM. The first type of CMM is also the most common.
- Gantry Type CMM. Gantry-style CMMs are used for large products such are automobiles where the floor itself can serve as a datum.
- Cantilever Type CMM. Next are cantilever machines.
- Horizontal Arm.
What is the function of CMM?
Measuring the geometry of physical objects by sensing discrete points on the surface of the object with a probe
Coordinate-measuring machine/Purpose
What are the types and applications of CMM?
There are four main types of coordinate measuring machine (CMMs): bridge, cantilever, gantry and horizontal arm. The one you choose will be determined by what you wish to use it for. All CMMs have three orthogonal axes, X, Y and Z which operate in a 3D coordinate system.
