Since the invention of the vernier caliper in the 1850s, dimensional metrology has played a critical role in driving the manufacturing industry to its current levels of excellence.

Just so there’s no misunderstanding, the ‘PC’ referred to in the title is not about political correctness, a very bad disease in its own right. In this case it’s about panic calibration.

Laser tracker equipment has been in existence for three decades, used widely in the automotive, aerospace and machine shops sectors for larger volume and high accuracy measurements.

All practical dimensional metrology applications rely on capturing data points in space, xyz coordinates.

The market for coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) is mature and, as such, experiencing low revenue growth rates.
