CMM Contact Measurement (Probing) - Exact Metrology

Nov 6, 2017

Welcome to RPM Design and Prototype, a leading provider of advanced metrology solutions for various industries. In this article, we will delve into the world of CMM contact measurement (probing) technology and discuss its applications in dimensional inspection, reverse engineering, and quality control.

What is CMM Contact Measurement (Probing)?

Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) are precise metrology instruments used to measure the geometrical characteristics of objects with high accuracy. CMM contact measurement or probing involves the use of touch-trigger or scanning probes to gather data points by physical contact with the object being measured.

Applications of CMM Contact Measurement (Probing)

CMM contact measurement plays a vital role in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical, and manufacturing. Here are some key applications:

1. Dimensional Inspection

In manufacturing, dimensional inspection is crucial to ensure product quality and conformance to specifications. CMM contact measurement enables accurate measurement of features such as hole diameters, distances between critical points, form and position tolerances, and more. This information helps manufacturers identify any deviations from the desired design and make necessary adjustments.

2. Reverse Engineering

Reverse engineering is the process of analyzing and recreating a product based on its existing design. CMM contact measurement, combined with powerful 3D scanning technology, allows engineers to capture the geometry of physical objects in detail. This data can then be used to generate CAD models for further analysis, product improvement, or reproduction.

3. Quality Control

Quality control is an essential aspect of manufacturing processes. CMM contact measurement provides objective and accurate data for inspecting manufactured parts and ensuring they meet required specifications. By conducting comprehensive inspections using CMMs, manufacturers can detect defects, minimize variations, and maintain consistent product quality.

Advantages of CMM Contact Measurement (Probing)

CMM contact measurement offers several advantages over alternative measurement methods:

  • Accuracy: CMMs are designed to achieve extremely high levels of accuracy, ensuring precise measurements.
  • Flexibility: CMM contact measurement can be performed on a wide range of objects, regardless of their complexity or material.
  • Speed: Probing technology allows for efficient data collection, reducing measurement time compared to manual methods.
  • Data Richness: CMMs gather a vast amount of data points, enabling detailed analysis and documentation.
