Quality Equipment

5D OMM

5D optical measurement machine

A 5D optical measurement machine is a precision measurement instrument that uses optical lasers to measure a variety of physical characteristics of a CNC machined part. The "5D" designation typically refers to the five dimensions of measurement that the machine can perform: length, width, height, depth, and angles.

3D CMM

3D coordinate measuring machine

A 3D coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is a measuring device that measures the geometry of objects by establishing discrete points on a physical surface using a contact probe. The machine will specify the probe's position in terms of displacement from an origin point in a three-dimensional coordinate system (XYZ axes).

CCD

CCD laser measurement system

CCD laser measurement system is a high-accuracy semiconductor-based triangulation measurement system with 1.0-micron resolution. The system uses a high-resolution CCD (Charge-coupled device) sensing array that provides measurement precision.
