Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) 500 x 400 mm

Overview: The 500 x 400 mm CMM is designed to provide high-accuracy measurements for small to medium-sized components and assemblies. It is a crucial tool in quality control, manufacturing, and engineering to ensure that parts meet specified tolerances and geometric standards.

Dimensions:

• Measuring Range: 500 mm in the X-axis (length) and 400 mm in the Y-axis (width). The Z-axis (height) measurement range varies depending on the model but typically complements the X and Y range to cover a cubic volume of space for measuring.

Key Features:

• High Accuracy: Equipped with precision linear encoders and high-resolution sensors, the CMM provides accurate and repeatable measurements. Accuracy is usually specified in micrometers (µm), depending on the model.

• Probing System: The machine may come with various probing options, including mechanical, optical, laser, or white light probes. The choice of probe affects the types of measurements and materials the CMM can handle.

• Construction: The CMM’s construction includes a robust base and frame to minimize vibrations and ensure stability. The build is designed to support precise movements along the X, Y, and Z axes.

• Control System: Operated through a computer-controlled system, the CMM uses software to program and record measurements. The software may include features for statistical analysis, data management, and integration with other manufacturing systems.

• User Interface: The interface typically includes a touch screen or computer interface for ease of use, allowing operators to input measurement parameters, run tests, and view results.

• Applications: Ideal for measuring dimensions, geometric tolerances, and features of machined parts, castings, and assemblies. Common applications include quality control, dimensional inspection, and reverse engineering.

• Additional Options: Some models offer additional features such as auto-calibration, temperature compensation, or advanced measurement capabilities like scanning for complex geometries.

Benefits:

• Precision and Reliability: Ensures high precision and reliability in measurements, crucial for maintaining quality standards in manufacturing.

• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of measurement tasks, from simple dimensional checks to complex geometric analysis.

• Efficiency: Reduces the time and effort required for manual measurements and minimizes human error.

Considerations:

• Workspace: Ensure that the machine’s footprint (including any required clearance for operation) fits within your workspace or production area.

• Maintenance: Regular calibration and maintenance are essential to keep the CMM in optimal working condition and to ensure accurate measurements over time.
