PCMMs automated with the proper inspection software deliver user-prompted, repeatable inspection plans that can be quickly and easily set up and executed using virtually any 3D measurement technology across the manufacturing enterprise.
Articulating arms are portable and make inspection easier, since operators can move them to measure a part as opposed to moving the part to the CMM.

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.
Calibration is an essential component of the manufacturing process, especially as demand for Industry 4.0 technologies grows. Such tools require accurate data.
Real-world objects have depth, width and height, and automated systems such as robots need to “see” in these three dimensions if they are to operate successfully.
AMETEK, Inc. announced it acquired Creaform, Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of innovative portable 3D measurement technologies and a provider of 3D engineering services for approximately $120 million.
On Demand A measurement plan is used to convey dimensional specifications from engineering to quality control and manufacturing teams. In this session, attendees will learn how to digitalize their 3D measurement planning process to save time and money.
