Purpose
With micron resolution the Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is a very flexible measurement solution and is capable of measuring most geometries with excellent accuracy. This CMM is equipped with a Renishaw PH10MQ allowing for the attachment of touch trigger and scanning probes, this allows the CMM to capture freeform geometry using scanning and also conventional 3D coordinate measurement.
Interesting Fact: The glass encoders used to determining the position of the CMM are incrementally coded, this means the CMM only knows it’s position relative to a home position, this is the reason for having to home the CMM every time it has been switched off.
