WEISS Coordinate Measuring Machine Process (CMM) Delivers Reassurance To Customers

by

Here is a video of the WEISS Coordinate Measuring Machine Process (CMM) that is performed as a value added service for our customers when required.

WEISS provides this value added service to our customer for a nominal cost depending on the numbers of point that need to be measured. During this process, WEISS loads the actual solid model into the CMM software which enables us to compare the final production dial or plate with the customer’s solid model and plot the difference, if any.

The results of this procedure are extremely valuable to many of our customers and the resulting data provided is a great asset during implementation when it comes to mounting high precision tooling.
