Coordinate Measuring Machines in Buffalo,NY

Are you in the Buffalo, NY area and need your Coordinate Measuring Machine testing? A Coordinate Measuring Machine measures the geometry of objects by using sensors to find discrete points in the surface. Depending on the type of Coordinate Measuring Machine(CMM), the probe can be controlled mechanically by a computer or manually by an operator. Coordinate Measuring Machines are used to test manufactured or assembled parts against the original design. Due to it's efficiency and the lack of human error and precision, the use of Coordinate Measuring machines has replaced manual testing precision. The speed and accuracy of these machines are integral to saving time and money ahead of production.

Are There Different Types of CMM's? 

As technology continues to advance, so does Coordinate Measuring Machines. Many CMM's have been developed for different measurements and with different sensors for specific applications. Here are some of the different types of CMM's:

Bridge CMM's

  • One of the most accurate types of CMM
  • Great measuring machined parts with high tolerance

Horizontal Arm CMM's 

  • Quick Installation
  • More Cost-effective 
  • Ideal for parts with low tolerance 

Cantilever CMM's 

  • Very Accurate
  • Ideal for smaller parts

Gantry CMM's 

  • Very Accurate 
  • Able to handle larger parts 

Portable Measuring Arm CMM's 

  • Inexpensive(compared to others)
  • No need to ship parts to the CMM, you bring them to the parts. 

Optical CMM's 

  • Portable 
  • Fast Processing Time
