To ensure that we produce mechanical components of impeccable quality, we’re proud to rely on equipment that takes us to the “big leagues” when it comes to parts inspection: a Mitutoyo CMM digital inspection machine.
Read on to find out how this tool enables our team to achieve the highest levels of precision.
What a CMM machine does
CMM inspection machines analyze the smallest geometric details of metal or plastic parts obtained from various machining operations.
To do this, a spherical probe at the end of a moving arm scans all the surfaces of the machined parts, collecting the coordinates essential for analyzing their dimensions. Hence the acronym CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine).
CMM machines such as ours can therefore quickly obtain extremely accurate three-dimensional measurement data, which is useful in a variety of contexts.
Quality control
While analyzing a part, our CMM generates a detailed inspection report of its critical dimensions in real time. It can also highlight differences between the analyzed part and its manufacturing drawings when they are uploaded to the system.
This makes it possible to identify problems that are difficult to detect with manual instruments, especially when machining spherical surface elements.
This report also enables our customers to see how well the industrial components and machines we manufacture meet the most demanding requirements.
Reverse Engineering
Our inspection machine also allows us to faithfully reproduce a mechanical part from a copy.
All you have to do is analyze the geometry of the part to be replicated to obtain the data needed to manufacture it. This can be very useful when a part has been out of production for a long time and its drawings are not accessible.
For example, we can reproduce components such as gears or shafts, allowing you to extend the life of your industrial machinery instead of replacing it. We can also reproduce parts in a hurry to avoid the long delays associated with importing parts from original manufacturers.
