CMM Inspection Services | Quality Control

Coordinate measuring machines, or CMMs, use tools such as probes, sensors, and scanners to compile data about a test object. It measures dimensions across the X-, Y-, and Z-axes, transmitting the data so it can be compared to the design specifications. 

CMM inspection services assess the dimensional accuracy of products to ensure they comply with industry standards and tight tolerances. This is crucial for both small and oversized products, so manufacturers can catch errors early on in the production process and guarantee that each part meets the required design parameters. Products that fail are flagged and separated, and products that pass are recorded for quality control purposes.

The Importance of CMM Inspection Services — Main Benefits

CMM inspection services allow organizations to quickly, efficiently, and reliably maintain quality control. For gearboxes, motors, and other critical equipment, even a slight variation in measurement can have major detrimental effects on the equipment’s performance. Here are the specific advantages of CMM inspections:

  • Speed: CMM equipment can quickly measure the three-dimensional attributes of a manufactured good and compare them to product requirements. CMM equipment can also be integrated into production equipment for automatic measurements and inspections.

  • Accuracy and Precision: By using well-calibrated, state-of-the-art equipment with probes and sensors, manufacturers can compile extremely detailed and accurate data for every facet of the product. This guarantees that manufacturers can detect potential defects and flaws, no matter how small.

  • Automation: Unlike manual inspections, CMM inspections are automated, which increases accuracy and speed while decreasing labor costs. The repeatability of CMM inspections provides better peace of mind for the quality control process.

  • Versatility: CMM equipment can do more than assess dimensional accuracy. Some types of CMM devices can evaluate surface finish and help reverse engineer products.

  • Compliance: CMM inspection services are an essential step in most ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management processes.
