While a high-performance measuring machine is a prerequisite for staying competitive, many quality managers are not achieving maximum efficiency and quality with their coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). One way to optimize the overall performance of CMMs is by integrating the right styli and accessories, the ones designed for and of the same caliber as the inspection systems. They can help deliver the results a measuring room is trying to achieve.
The initial investment in a CMM is just the first step. It may have been configured to measure a specific part or solve a particular need. Later, as the full potential of the system is learned, the quality manager is faced with applying that knowledge to new and greater inspection challenges. That’s when they need to consider the styli and accessories designed by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
