In roundness measurement – measuring the roundness of a part to confirm that it does not deviate from the known specifications on the blueprint – complexity has increased as parts become more complicated with tighter tolerances.
Most organizations have discovered that their future success hinges on reinventing themselves as a lowest-cost producer. One of the keys is to focus on actions that can impact real costs every day.
Magnetic measurements are suitable to determine mechanical and technical properties of a material especially steel. The magnetic and mechanical properties of a material are determined by the microstructure.
As the skills gap continues to impact the manufacturing field, skilled CMM users and programmers are harder to come by. In response, CMM companies have built the tools to be easier to operate and program.

Coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) can automate the measurement process and consequently eliminate quality inspection bottlenecks. The highly adaptable tools can measure a wide range of parts and materials and quickly adapt to production changes.
PCMMs automated with the proper inspection software deliver user-prompted, repeatable inspection plans that can be quickly and easily set up and executed using virtually any 3D measurement technology across the manufacturing enterprise.
In addition to measuring the distance between a sensor and its target to determine object positions and displacements, confocal chromatic sensors are capable of measuring the thickness of transparent materials.
Consolidation is something we’ve all done. It’s efficient and can help save time and space and naturally leads to greater organization and productivity.
Here’s a thought: what if you could also perform multiple measuring tasks at the same time, on the same part with one machine, right there on the factory floor?
