A Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is an advanced computer-controlled inspection system used to accurately measure the dimensions and geometric characteristics of objects. It consists of a base or table, a movable bridge or arm, and a probing system with a touch-trigger or scanning probe. 

A CMM operates by moving the probe along the object's X, Y, and Z axes. The machine records the position of the probe at each point, collecting coordinate data that represents the object's surface. The data is processed by specialized software to create a measurement report. This allows us to measure curves, angles, holes, and other complex geometries.

Dimensional Inspection Services for Pennsylvania & New York Manufacturers

Seymour Tool and Die provides dimensional inspection services to manufacturers across Pennsylvania and New York from our shop in North East, PA. You do not need to have us machine the part. We inspect parts made anywhere, by your own shop or by another supplier, and measure them against your print.

Common Requests Include:

  • Third-party inspection when you and a supplier or customer need an independent set of numbers
  • First-article inspection before a production run is released. 
  • GD&T verification of position, flatness, profile, runout,  and other callouts on the drawing. 

Every job runs on our Emerald CMM 785, which handles parts up to 27.55" x 31.49" x 19.68". Send us the print and a part count and we will quote it.

What You Receive

Each inspection comes back with a documented dimensional report. It lists every callout on your print, the measured value, the tolerance, and a clear pass or fail for each one. Nothing is summarized away; if a feature is out, you see by how much.

The report is delivered as a PDF along with your parts, so your quality team, your customer, or your supplier can all work from the same numbers. If you need the results in a specific format for a first-article package, tell us when you request the quote.


CMM Inspection FAQs

What's the purpose of a CMM inspection machine?

A CMM inspection machine uses a probe to measure a piece along the X, Y, and Z axes (width, height, and depth). Specialized software processes the resulting data and creates a report on the piece's measurements. The report is then compared to the piece's specifications to determine whether or not it was machined accurately.
