Calibration question

Lets say for example, hexagon calibrated your cmm, and found that it is OOT. For example one of the axis is reading .00008 over the machine spec. And they say it may take thousands of dollars to bring in spec. What does it mean to you? Does it mean that they will put out of service sticker? Does it mean the machine must be in spec, even if most of your tollerances are +\_.01 , no less?

What would you do if it was up to you? Would you, hire Hexagon to tear apart the machine to rebuild it and bring it in spec? or would you still use it, since your tollerances are wide open, and .00008 wont affect your results much?

  • I would get a different Hex tech. in to take a second look.


    Say for example the other tech would confirm it beeing OOspec. But they cant tell you exactly whats wrong with it and advise you to rebuild the axis. Aprox $6,000, but could be more if it doesnt fix it

    Would Hexagon place out of service sticker if it wasnt in spec?
