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.

  • Only one CMM for the entire production line and it's down..........this is the usual reaction in my experience

    In all seriousness though, as other people have already said, you will have to resort to different inspection methods such as hand tools, on-machine checks etc.  Yes, it will be painful and take much longer but there's no other viable alternative.
