Infinite Positioning Benefits from 5-Axis CMM Technology
INFINITE POSITIONING
Infinite positioning is an aspect of 5-axis CMM probing technology that provides increased productivity, greater flexibility in job setup, and better use of the CMM’s working volume. Furthermore, it guarantees optimal feature access minimizing stylus changes.
The probe automatically aligns itself with the part coordinate system helping to avoid collisions and some of the headaches that might come from excessive fixturing positions of the part.
5-axis motion eliminates time spent indexing the head. Together these speed increases typically result in a 3-fold improvement in throughput over conventional systems. Infinite positioning capability guarantees optimal feature access, minimizing stylus changes. 5-axis also reduces the need for special fixturing to allow access to difficult to reach part features.
