Applications for CMM in the Automotive Industry

For the high quantity of cars today, the coordinate measuring machine is increasingly demanded, because one of the main functions of CMM is to measure the geometric quantity of each core part. It becomes common for people to prefer CMM for the reason that it’s more accuracy and easier than the traditional measuring machine.

So, what are the applications of CMM in the automotive industry?  Let’s have a detailed understanding of it!

By placing the measured object in the measuring space of the CMM, the CMM uses the contact or non-contact detection system to obtain the coordinate position of each measuring point. With the spatial value of the points, we can get the geometric dimensioning, form and location through the software. Meanwhile, because of its high efficiency, high precision and omnipotence, it can efficiently complete the measurement of the geometric quantity of auto parts, but also indirectly control the quality of them.

In addition, car parts also have corresponding characteristics as following: large batch, high quality requirement, shape diversification, different measurement types (curve, surface or box) and methods for different parts, as well as the differences of configurations. Therefore, we need to mutually select and match according to the host, software and detection system. 

In conclusion, CMM plays a significant role in the auto industry. It ensures not only high accuracy measurement, but also effective quality controlling of the auto parts, even it helps to improve the work efficiency and improve accuracy of measurement results. CMM is the most trusted!
