In life for coordinate measuring machines is not like TV or washing machine, so people are not very familiar with it, and some of them may never even heard of this term. But this does not mean that CMMs are not important, on the contrary, they are used in many places in our life to measure.
Mold and Die Industry
Automatic Coordinate Measuring Machine is quite widely used in the mold industry, it is a modern and intelligent tool for design and development, inspection, statistical analysis, and moreover, an effective tool for unparalleled quality and technical assurance of mold products.
CMM can apply the input of 3D digital model, compare the finished mold with the positioning, dimensions, related form tolerances, curves and surfaces on the digital model for measurement, and output a graphical report to reflect the quality of the mold visually and clearly, thus forming a complete inspection report of the finished mold.
The highly flexible CMM can be configured in a shop floor environment and directly involved in all stages of mold processing, assembly, mold trial, and mold repair, providing the necessary inspection feedback to reduce the number of reworks and shorten the mold development cycle, thus ultimately reducing mold manufacturing costs and bringing production under control.
With its powerful reverse engineering capabilities, the measuring machine is an ideal digital tool. The combination of different types of probes and different configurations of measuring machines enables fast and accurate acquisition of 3D data and geometric features of the workpiece surface, which is particularly useful for mold design, replication of samples, and repair of damaged molds. In addition, the measuring machines can be equipped with touch and non-contact scanning probes and use the powerful scanning capabilities provided by the PC-DMIS measurement software to reproduce complex CAD models of workpieces with free-form shape features. It can be directly recognized and programmed by various CAD software without any conversion, thus greatly improving the efficiency of mold design.
Automotive industry
Coordinate measuring machine is a measurement system that detects the three-dimensional coordinates of workpiece surface points through the relative movement of the probe system and the workpiece. By placing the object to be measured in the measurement space of the CMM, the coordinate positions of the measurement points on the object to be measured are obtained by using the contact or non-contact probing system, and according to the spatial coordinate values of these points, mathematical operations are performed by the software to find out the geometric size and shape and location to be measured. Therefore, CMM has the characteristics of high precision, high efficiency and versatility, which is the ideal solution to complete the geometric measurement and quality control of various automotive parts.
Engine manufacturing
Engines are made up of many parts of various shapes, and the manufacturing quality of these parts is directly related to the performance and life of the engine. Therefore, very precise inspection is required in the production of these parts to ensure the accuracy and tolerance fit of the products. In the modern manufacturing industry, high precision integrated measuring machines are increasingly used in the production process, so that the goal and key of product quality is gradually transformed from final inspection to control of the manufacturing process and timely adjustment of the parameters of the processing equipment through information feedback, thus ensuring product quality and stabilizing the production process and improving production efficiency.
