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 cannot speak for Hexagon but I have heard that other companies will give you certificate that states that the cmm meets your manufacturing requirements.


    Yes yes that is what I am learning now. So the sticker will say limited calibration, instead of the regular calibration sticker
