Modern manufacturers are consistently creating parts that are more complex than ever. Intricate, three-dimensional parts with a multitude of features – all with their own critical dimensions – are the norm.

In the past, manufacturers would measure their parts using traditional coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) outfitted with touch probes. While traditional CMMs do provide accurate measurements, modern precision manufacturing requires a variety of precision inspection solutions. Today’s leading manufacturers rely on multisensor metrology systems to deliver accuracy for process monitoring and control.

Multisensor metrology systems provide the advantage of complete 3D measurement data from a single measuring machine. A modern multisensor system combines optics, contact probes (touch trigger and scanning), laser and micro-probes, along with advanced lighting and motion control, for total part characterization. These systems offer highly accurate measurement results in a fraction of the time and cost it would take to do on separate measuring systems, and in a fraction of the space required for multiple measuring systems.
