Digital transformation is placing urgent demands on coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) to be interconnected and communicative. Without the ability to collaborate with other systems and workers on the shop floor, CMMs risk becoming an informational black hole that prevents the flow of data required for smarter manufacturing.

There are three primary options available today for shaft measurement: optical, tactile, and a combination system. The optical systems have become common over the past few decades because of their flexibility and speed. So how do you choose the best option for your specific application?
