Vision measuring machines (VMMs) offer several key benefits, such as greater speed, versatility, and efficiency – with many other exciting innovations on the way as well.

When it comes to selecting inspection and measurement software, getting it right is important.

Q-PLUS Labs is the leading precision dimensional measurement laboratory that, since 1987, has provided a one-stop, under-one-roof solution to all of your precision measurement, inspection, engineering, quality assurance related, and metrology equipment needs.

The science behind 3D scanners and CMM technologies is different; however, both collect coordinate measurement data and are widely used within the plastics industry. When is it better suited to use non-contact structured light 3D scanners than touch CMMs?

Today’s manufactured components are more multifaceted than ever, requiring more parts, additional updates to those parts and ever tighter tolerances. 

Engineers have historically used 2D drawings to convey product manufacturing information, even though they design products in 3D. But as quality control has become even more important, and as parts and components are becoming more complex to measure, the demand for automatic measurement programming has grown.

How do you select the right shop-floor CMM for your production line? Making an informed decision means understanding application needs, what solutions can meet your needs and how to “future proof” your selection.

The quality norms of the past are being shattered by another evolution of CMM technologies arriving on the scene. The reason? Manufacturing is changing at its core. 

Unlike manually operated gages or portable measurement devices, coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) can automate the measurement process and therefore remove quality inspection bottlenecks. Listen to the podcast with David Wick, manager of product management at ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions
