Optical coordinate measuring system µCMM with new operator software MetMeX: From “How do I measure?” to “What do I measu

µcmm Optical production measurement New coordinate measuring machine sets a benchmark µCMM µCMM combines the advantages of tactile coordinate measuring technology and non-contact surface measuring technology: » Measurement of dimension, position, shape and roughness in one system » high accuracy over the entire measurement volume » non-contact, optical measurement with Focus-Variation » suitable for matte to highly polished components » easy handling » wear-free, robust, suitable for prod

Measure components with extremely tight tolerances in high accuracy µCMM is the most accurate purely optical micro-coordinate measuring machine in its class. Based on Focus-Variation, it offers all the advantages of this optical technique. These include high-resolution measurement of components with steep flanks and high reflections, insensitivity to vibrations and a high number of measuring points. Users can measure dimensions, position, shape and roughness of their components fully automatically. What µCMM offers » high geometrical accuracy of multiple optical 3D measurements to each...

Precise, simple, expandable What makes µCMM so precise, easy to use and flexible? The optical µCMM offers high accuracy for the fast measurement of components with tight tolerances. It reproducibly measures matte to highly polished surfaces and is designed to be easily used by multiple operators. Simple automation options and optional accessories extend application areas. Interfaces for networking with existing production systems ensure the implementation of future-oriented, integrated production strategies. High accuracy and fast measurement over large measurement volumes µCMM enables...

Technical drawing of a drill 3D measurement using µCMM Shape deviations of hemispherical shells, as shown here with a CV joint, are measured in high vertical and lateral resolution. Ball shells, which are used in many industries, often have complex material µCMM offers high accuracy of several optical 3D measurements to properties due to the combination of matte and highly polished sur- each other. A 3D measurement is only done at the relevant measuring faces. The SmartFlash technology integrated in the µCMM enables positions and thus in a very short time. Due to the high accuracy of the...

From “How do I measure?” to “What do I measure?” This is the core thinking behind MetMaX, the µCMM operating software. Thanks to this evolution, users do not need any specific metrology knowledge to perform robust measurements with the µCMM coordinate measuring machine. MetMaX contains all the necessary knowledge on how to acquire and evaluate 3D data. When the CAD data set for a component measurement starts, a virtual simulation The MetMaX reporting system gives an ok/ is uploaded, operators can use a simple ensures a collision-free measurement se- not ok report which complies with the...
