CMM Construction
A CMM basically consists of a platform on which the
workpiece being measured is placed and then is moved
linearly or rotated
The measuring carriages are moved in the coordinate
axes either manually or by motorized drives
An important aspect in CMM is the probing sensor for
detecting the measured points
The probe could be tactile or optical
The structure of CMM must be rigid to minimize
deflections that contribute to measurement errors

causes bands to separate, then

Measuring Flatness
(a) Interferometry method for measuring flatness using an optical flat. (b) Fringes
on a flat, inclined surface. An optical flat resting on a perfectly flat workpiece
surface will not split the light beam, and no fringes will be present. (c) Fringes on a
surface with two inclinations. Note: the greater the incline, the closer together are
the fringes. (d) Curved fringe patterns indicate curvatures on the workpiece
surface. 44

Optical Comparator
Optical comparator is a non contact
inspection instrument that applies the
principle of optics to magnify and project
the image of an inspected part. Optical
inspection instruments allow the
inspection of a part while the part is
actually moving and being machined on
the machine tool. Light source emits
light beam that travels through prism
and projects the shadow of an object
onto a screen a few feet away so it can
be compared with a chart showing
tolerance levels for the part
