CMM Health

Good Afternoon Everyone,

We are starting a CMM health initiative to help trust the CMMs. As of right now, operators can only run parts and the probe calibration program. Management is looking into something like check an artifact of known size weekly or even daily. I have (4) 454 SFs with (3) with manual heads and (1) with an indexing head, (3) Tigos with fixed analog heads, and (1) 7.10.7 Sf with an indexing head.

What kind of artifacts do you all check on a regular basis for CMM confidence? Rings gages? Gage blocks? An actual machine'd part? If its a machine'd part, do you check on 1 CMM to compare to other CMMs? OR does the human check it with hand tools and then looks for correlation? I know Hexagon has the swift check thing but I think its only for indexing heads so it won't work with all my CMMs.

Any advice? Thanks.

  • You can verify true position "with other tools" if you have the correct equipment and know what you're doing, we do it every day Slight smile If you ever have any questions about gaging/datum interpretation/whatever...feel free to reach out. Will help if I can.

    For big/funky stuff we'll run the program on two CMMs and have one correlate the other


    To run program on two machine, how accurate your guys were working on ? 0.001mm Slight smile
