Portable coordinate measuring machines (CMM) are useful equipment in various industries designed for measurement, control and reverse engineering. They include devices such as coordinate measuring arms, laser trackers, optical and laser scanners. Portable CMMs are the best alternative when the use of stationary machines is impossible or measurements need to be carried out directly on the spot.
This equipment is used in the automotive industry and heavy machinery. With the help of portable CMMs, it is possible to carry out precise coordinate control of various components, such as casting and stamping equipment, bendable pipes, low-strength products and others. They can also be used to set up welding stocks, accurately mark sheet products, scan prototypes and create three-dimensional models of products with complex geometry.
Portable equipment has a simpler design compared to stationary equipment, which makes it more affordable. However, its scope is very wide. For example, in Uzbekistan, such CMMs are actively used by the companies UZAVTOMOTORS, MAN, SAMAUTO, various educational institutions and others.
Scanners with laser technology are among the most popular measuring sensors in portable systems. They allow you to obtain detailed three-dimensional images of individual parts, assemblies and aggregates. Laser scanning is carried out by the operator manually and provides high geometric accuracy with high detail of the result. The embedded software generates a point cloud and a detailed three-dimensional image in the form of a polygonal model, which can be used for reverse engineering, creating drawings, manufacturing similar products and other purposes.
