koordinaatimetri

Koordinaatimetri is a Finnish term that translates to "coordinate meter" or "coordinate measuring machine" (CMM) in English. It refers to an electronic device used to measure the geometric characteristics of an object. These characteristics are measured as a collection of points. The points are then collected in a coordinate system (e.g., Cartesian) and are used to define the feature of the object.

A koordinaatimetri typically consists of a probe, a coordinate measuring system, and a computer that runs the software. The probe is a sensor that touches the surface of the object being measured. The coordinate measuring system tracks the position of the probe in three-dimensional space. The software then uses this information to create a digital model of the object.

Koordinaatimetrejä are used in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and medical devices. They are used for a variety of purposes, such as quality control, inspection, and reverse engineering. The accuracy and precision of koordinaatimetri measurements are critical for ensuring the quality and reliability of manufactured parts. Different types of probes exist, including touch-trigger probes, scanning probes, and non-contact optical probes, each suited for different measurement tasks and material types. The data generated by a koordinaatimetri can be used to verify that parts meet design specifications, identify manufacturing defects, and even create detailed 3D models of existing objects for further analysis or replication.
