Ever-Tightening Dimensional Tolerances Amid Increasing Product Complexity & Quality to Benefit Demand for Coordinate Measuring Machines
Indispensable importance of dimensional measurement in manufacturing automobiles, aircraft, life-saving medical devices and complex heavy industrial equipment with very tight quality and performance tolerances is poised to drive the global market for Coordinate Measuring Machines to exceed US$4.0 billion by 2024 . Metrology products are gaining prominence in helping manufacturing units improve productivity and quality of high value parts. Majority of the industries opt for measuring machines that offer accurate and repeatable measurements of object dimensions. This brings into spot light ‘Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM)’, a 3D digitizer equipped with tactile probe, which is capable of measuring any type of work piece with reliable accuracy. CMMs, either controlled manually or by CNC or through PCs, are primarily designed to move measuring probe, so as to determine the point coordinates on the surface of a workpiece. CMM continues to dominate the dimensional metrology market as...
