koordinatmålemaskin

A koordinatmålemaskin, often abbreviated as CMM, is a measuring instrument that defines an object's points in three-dimensional space. These points are then used to construct a CAD model of the object. CMMs are used for a variety of tasks, including quality control, reverse engineering, and inspection.

A typical CMM consists of a probing system, a coordinate measuring machine controller, and the associated application software. The probing system is used to touch the object and record its coordinates. The CMM controller is the brain of the machine, and it controls the movement of the probing system and collects the data. The application software is used to analyze the data and create a CAD model of the object.

CMMs can be used to measure a wide variety of objects, from small electronic components to large automotive parts. They are highly accurate and can be used to measure objects with very tight tolerances. CMMs are also relatively easy to use, and they can be programmed to perform a variety of measurements.

The use of CMMs has become increasingly important in modern manufacturing. They allow for more precise measurements and inspections, which leads to higher quality products. CMMs are also used in reverse engineering to create digital models of existing parts, which can then be used for manufacturing or modification.
