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.

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.
