CMM Metrology - Dimensional Metrology Equipment

Micrometers, calipers and coordinate measuring machines are some of the most used dimensional metrology equipment in industrial and machine tool production.

CMMs are based on CNC technology automating part measuring processes via physical contact with them.

In coordinate or dimensional metrology the actual shape of a part is being measured and compared to the desired shape through evaluation of information about size, form, orientation and location etc.

Precision engineering or precision metrology is often performed in a controlled environment.

Recent trends in CMM Metrology have moved the coordinate measuring processes from controlled labs to the machine shop floor and production arena.
