CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine)

A Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is a precise device used to measure the physical geometry of objects. It works by using a probe that touches or scans the object's surfaces to record points in three-dimensional space. These measurements help verify if the object meets design specifications and quality standards. CMMs are commonly used in manufacturing for quality control, ensuring parts are accurately produced. They can measure complex shapes with high accuracy, helping manufacturers maintain consistency and quality in their products.
