Coordinate measuring machines, or CMMs, give highly precise dimensional measurements of physical objects. Gathering data over an XYZ axis, a CMM assembles coordinates from a hanging probe which reacts to contact with an object by sending measurements back to the interface. Once the machine finishes running over the surface area of a product, a hyper-accurate measurement of the product’s dimensions will be available for use in sale and distribution, an essential set of parameters for clients seeking products of an exact size.
Coordinate measuring machines are contact-based 3D scanners, taking more time than a 3D laser scanner but providing a highly accurate measurement. Even so, it is much more efficient and accurate than measuring by hand. Manufacturing, component testing, and R&D are a few of the industries that utilize CMM.
ATEC is the leading CMM rental company, offering Hexagon CMM machines along with trusted devices from Vision Engineering and other leading manufacturers. We also carry various Faro arm rentals, including the innovative
8-Axis QuantumS FaroArm. Our rental experts are flexible to customers' needs, whether they stem from short-term projects, changing inspection requirements, or quick replacements in response to repair or calibration. Renting a CMM from ATEC is also a great way to test out a measurement machine before making a capital-heavy investment in a new product.
ATEC supplies CMM machines with mechanical, optical, white light, and laser probes. Reach out to learn more about our CMM rentals.
