Koordinatmätmaskiner

Koordinatmätmaskiner, often abbreviated as KMM or CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) in English, are essential tools in modern manufacturing and quality control. They are used to measure the physical dimensions of an object by probing its surface at various points. These machines consist of a probe that is guided by a computer-controlled system to move in three axes, typically X, Y, and Z. The probe touches the surface of the workpiece, and the machine records the precise coordinates of each contact point.

The data collected by a KMM can be used to create a digital model of the object, compare it against its design specifications, or perform various analyses. This allows for highly accurate measurements, often with tolerances in the micrometer range. KMMs are employed across a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical device manufacturing, and electronics, where precision and repeatability are critical. They play a vital role in ensuring that manufactured parts conform to their intended design, thereby preventing defects and ensuring product quality and safety.
