Arrival of the new CMM in Moline
Installing the CMM
Exact Metrology's new CMM
Exact Metrology, a comprehensive 3D metrology service provider and hardware sales company, has announced that a large scale coordinate measuring machine (CMM) has been installed at its office location in Moline, IL.
"This machine is a high-accuracy CNC CMM that guarantees a maximum permissible error of E0, MPE = (2.5+3L/1000)µm," said a company spokesperson. "With this machine, measurement uncertainty remains within one-fifth of the dimension tolerance up to 30.2 in. (766 mm). The higher accuracy specification therefore gives it more than double the effective measuring range in terms of accuracy-guarantee capability."
The room in which the machine sits is temperature controlled. From sensors installed on each axis scale and working in conjunction with sensors placed on the workpiece, temperatures are obtained before outputting the measurement result to the controller. "The combined axis scale/workpiece temperature compensation design used gives superior results compared to systems with sensors only on the axis scales," said the spokesperson.
This CMM offers a maximum drive speed of 693 mm/s and a maximum drive acceleration of 1,732 mm/sq. sec. resulting in an increase of drive distance in one second. Combining high speed and high acceleration, this machine reduces measuring time. As the number of measuring points increases, measuring costs per point are reduced.
The CMM, which will be used by Exact Metrology for precision machined parts, has a measuring volume of 47" by 78".
Commenting on this new arrival, Exact Metrology Co-President Dean Solberg said, "We are very happy to install this machine and we have even heightened our ceilings and reinforced our floors to make sure it fits inside our facility. We look forward to using this CMM to further our customer service reach."
Exact Metrology is ISO, AS9100 Certified as well as FFL and ITAR Registered.
