The new Renscan5 coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) from Renishaw Inc., Hoffman Estates, Ill. (renishaw.com), uses a touch probe or stylus to make measurements at up to 500 mm/sec (or 4,000 data ...

The Maxos noncontact optical CMM combines speed and accuracy. Although noncontact optical coordinated measurement machines (CMMs) are more efficient than touch-probe CMMs, they have an Achilles’ heel ...

Metronor (www.metronor.com) will feature its new portable system for scanning and probing directly in the object coordinate system without the use of targets or post-process patch stitching. The ...

The decision to add a high-speed-scanning CMM should be based largely on what it does, not how much it costs. Measurement uncertainty drops dramatically as the number of data points increases.

At its core, SPM operates on the principle of measuring interactions between a sharp probe and the surface of a material. As the probe scans across the surface, it detects variations in physical ...
