Tech Tips

The CMM I have installed in the shop floor does not work properly and is unreliable. Why is this?

 CMM’s used in less than ideal environments require more frequent cleaning and maintenance.  Computers used for these systems should regularly be checked for functioning or blocked cooling fans.  The bearing gaps used on typical CMM vary from 0.010 to 0.0015 mm and can easily be blocked by dirt or dust.  Oil or other contaminants in the air supply have detrimental affects on a CMM.
