Manufacturers are facing stricter regulations and quality standards. Portable CMM arms help maintain exceptional quality control as they navigate these requirements.

British coordinate measuring machine (CMM) manufacturer LK Metrology, Castle Donington, has announced the release of the latest version of its measurement, programming, simulation, analysis and reporting software.

Manufacturing for military readiness not only involves the initial production of arms, equipment, and technology but also the ongoing replacement and repair of degraded, outdated, or lost items, necessitating the use of the latest technology to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.

In manufacturing, operators, inspectors, engineers, and systems measure characteristics to ensure product quality. This data helps monitor real-time processes, tracking performance indicators like cycle time, throughput, and efficiency.

Traditional measurement methods struggle with complex geometries and modern plastic parts. Advanced vision measuring systems offer advantages for automotive manufacturers, but traditional tools are still preferable in some areas.

IoT integration connects sensors and objects with each other and with applications and databases. CMMs benefit from this integration with multiple sensors integrated with metrology software and measurement databases.

Manufacturers are integrating metrology, using data analytics, automating maintenance, and embedding measurement processes in production for greater efficiency and predictability.
