3D measurement arms, also referred to as articulating arms, are portable coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) that pinpoint and record the location of a probe and record the results through software. 

The quality norms of the past are being shattered by another evolution of CMM technologies arriving on the scene. The reason? Manufacturing is changing at its core. 

Go-to. It’s become a very popular term, one we have all probably heard, particularly if we talk business or watch sports.

Portable coordinate measurement machines (CMMs) are reliable measurement tools that help to minimize product defects.

Unlike manually operated gages or portable measurement devices, coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) can automate the measurement process and therefore remove quality inspection bottlenecks. Listen to the podcast with David Wick, manager of product management at ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions

The long haul trucking or “Over the Road” (OTR) vehicle industry is no stranger to implementing modular tooling for their fixturing needs, especially in America.

Cylindrical ring gages have a number of inspection purposes. They are used as Go/No-Go gages to inspect the outside diameter of a shaft or rod. They are masters for dial bore gages, internal micrometers and coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). 

Quality standards require that measuring equipment be calibrated prior to being put into service. In addition, the maintenance of measuring equipment requires recalibrations at regular intervals.
