How To Handle Down CMMs?

Good Morning,

Let say your CMM is down and a tech is scheduled to go to your job site next week to troubleshoot and during that time your CMM in inoperable. What does your company do to keep production running when your CMM is not available? How do you all handle that? You don't have any other CMMs to take on the work. You aren't in a position to outsource the CMM inspections.

Thanks.

  • We've got four, as we need three running to prevent backlog/production bottleneck. (FDA validated processes, so we can't just use manual tools, unless we validate the manual process)

    --If your business doesn't want to cough up the contingency $$$$$$ for a backup system, then they will just have to suffer through the pain of any bottlenecks when it's down.
