Coordinate Measuring Machines

Coordinate Measuring Machines are devices that are used for dimensional measuring, that uses a moving measuring probe to obtain the coordinates of points on an object surface. Coordinate Measuring Machines, CMM's, uses an X-Y-Z grid coordinate system to determine its position on a worktable. Type of CMM's include: Gantry (extremely large), Cantilever, Bridge (most common) and Column.

Manufacturers Include: Brown & Sharpe, LK/Metris

Portable Measuring Arms

Being portable and lightweight, made of carbon fiber and aluminum components, portable measuring arms are very convenient and comfortable. These arms are available in 6 or 7 axis versions and are designed for touch probe measurement and laser scanning measurement.

Manufacturers Include: Metris, Faro, Romer

Hardness Testers

Measuring how easily a mineral can be scratched, is the main purpose of a hardness tester. It is measured on the Mohs scale. This can also be defined as the relative resistance of a metal or other material to denting or be ending, as well as scratching.

Manufacturers Include: Brinell, Fowler, Mituotyo, Rockwell, Suntec, Vickers

Height Gages

Vertical measuring instruments with a precision finished base, a beam that is at a right angle to the base, with a scribe. Digital models most common.

Manufacturers Include: Brown & Sharpe, Fowler, Mitutoyo, Starrett

Optical Comparators

An optical comparator is an instrument that projects a greatly magnified image of a part feature onto a screen for examination, to compare the shape, size, and location of its features.

Precision Gages & Hand Tools

These precision tools come in a very wide variety. Including: 1-2-3 blocks, calipers, micrometers, gage blocks, height gages, indicators, pin gages, plug gages, pressure gages, ring gages, scales, squares, steel rules, tape measure, taper/thickness gages, test indicators, thread plug gages, torque wrenches and so much more.

Manufacturers Include: Brown and Sharpe, Fowler, Mitutoyo, Starrett and MANY MORE!

Roundness and Form

Roundness and form can be measured on a device called a Contracer. Typical jobs used are for profile inspection for small gear teeth, internal threads, flat serrations, turbine blade root design, face threads, and fine details in small molds.

Manufacturers Include: Mitutoyo

Surface Plates

Surface plates are a hard, flat surface, usually made of granite that is used as a base for inspecting parts.

Manufacturers Include: Mitutoyo, Starrett

Vision Systems

Using a video camera to magnify part features for inspection is the purpose of using a Vision System. This system checks complex 3D and 2D parts and is available in manual or Direct Computer Control, DCC.
