he Quality Sourc eb o o k ’s CMM This buyers guide reflects some of these
Guide fe at u res info rm ation on
almost 50 CMM manufacturers’and
distributors’products. Our guide provides
the critical specifications of each company’s
CMM to help you narrow your choices. To
avoid duplicating manufacturer and dis-
tributor entries, repeated product specifica-
tions appear only in the manu fa c t u re r ’s
listing. Distributor listings indicate which
manufacturers each distributes for and show
product specifications from manufacturers
not otherwise listed.
Our guide includes a number of video- and
laser-based products in addition to tradi-
tional CMMs. As new technologies arise,
look for more of these nontra d i t i o n a l
CMMs. Laser- and vision-based machines
are performing CMM functions in places
that CMMs can’t reach and on very large
objects, such as aircraft wings. Although
these CMMs function differently from tra-
ditional CMMs, for this buyers guide, the
manufacturers have done their best to trans-
l ate their specifi c ations into tra d i t i o n a l
CMM specifications.
New technologies are also improving the
performance and versatility of traditional
CMMs. Advances in temperature compen-
sation techniques are allowing CMM man-
ufacturers to move their products to the
shop floor and still maintain a high degree
of accuracy. Advances in and standardiza-
tion of software protocols, such as DMIS,
are allowing CMMs to communicate direct-
ly with CAD systems for reverse engineer-
i n g, design ve ri fi c at i o n , CMM offl i n e
programming, and real-time part-to-CAD
measurement.
new technologies, but to stay informed of
the latest in metrology tools,look for tec h-
nology articles in Quality Digest.
CMM Guide
CMM Manufacturers Matrix .................51
This matrix of CMM manufacturers and
distributors features the company name and
product names,machine type, range, reso-
lution, linear accuracy, temperature range,
volumetric accuracy, repeatability, through-
p u t , guide method, p robe type, c o n t ro l
method and temperature compensation.
Except where otherwise indicated, units of
measure for a particular specification are
as shown at the top of each column.
CMM Manufacturers Directory ............58
This directory of CMM manufacturers
includes the company name, address,phone
and fax numbers,Web address,and a brief
description of the company’s products and
services. (Please note that not all compa-
nies provided us with descriptions.)
As with all Quality Digest guides, the CMM
Guide is in no way meant to endorse or
exclude a particular organization. Rather,
it’s meant to be used as the starting point
in the data-gathering process. Readers are
encouraged to contact the companies direct-
ly for more information and to ask for—
and check—references. Please be sure to
mention you saw their listings in Quality
Digest’s 2001 Quality Sourcebook!
We appreciate any feedback you have on
our CMM Guide. If you have any sugges-
tions for how we can improve this guide for
next year, e-mail them to sourcebook@
qualitydigest.com.
Linear accuracy—accuracy of the
instrument when measuring along a
single axis. This data is often integrated
with the volumetric accuracy.
R a n g e —the x, y or z distance the
CMM can travel while measuring a part.
For articulating arms, laser trackers and
other nontraditional CMMs, this dimen-
sion may be represented as a sphere.
Resolution—the smallest distance that
can be measured by the instrument.
T Comp.—many instruments provide
a means for temperature compensa-
tion. Temperature data can be manu-
ally input, read from a sensor mounted
on the part being measured, read from
sensors mounted on the instrument
itself or any combination of these.
Throughput—describes how many
points per minute an instrument can
measure. This number tends to be
much higher for noncontact measure-
ment systems than for contact meas-
urement systems.
VDI, B89 or ISO—accuracy standards
to which the instrument conforms.
Volumetric accuracy—accuracy of
the instrument when measuring along
all axes simultaneously.
 Dimensions are in inches or microinches unless otherwise shown
