The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) calibrates coordinate measuring machines to verify their accuracy.
What is a Coordinate Measuring Machine?
Coordinate measuring machines, commonly known as CMMs, are measurement tools comprised of a computer, motion system, probe, and measurement software. Together, these components create a highly accurate machine that excels at measuring various dimensions of an object, including length, depth, and width.
CMMs are widely used quality assurance tools revered for their versatility and efficiency at measuring complex components that must adhere to rigorous standards. CMMs offer numerous benefits, helping companies do the following:
- Improve operational efficiency
- Reduce production time and costs
- Minimize the likelihood of human error
Our CMM Machine Calibration Services
Our calibration experts use our ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facilities to calibrate coordinate measuring machines in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications and our clients’ unique demands. During calibration, we compare our clients’ CMM’s measurements to a known standard to see if there are any inconsistencies. If the readings don’t match, we make the necessary adjustments to ensure our client’s instruments are within the desired range of accuracy.
Understanding the Importance of CMM Calibration
Like many measuring devices, CMMs can become increasingly inaccurate as they age, so it’s important to regularly calibrate them to verify their reliability. Industry experts recommend that coordinate measuring machines be calibrated according to their frequency of use, age, and exposure to various environmental factors, such as temperature, oil, and dust. CMM calibrations help companies do the following:
- Ensure the accuracy of their CMMs
- Verify the dimensions and quality of a product’s parts
- Comply with industry standards and government regulations
- Reduce the likelihood of CMM failures
- Extend the lifespan of CMM
