Stable, accurate measuring results even while

temperature is changing
Even while the temperature of the machine or the workpiece is
changing, Mitutoyo coordinate measuring machines perform just
as superbly as they do under thermally stable conditions. Sensors
Temperature sensors attached to the CMM and workpiece detect temperature variations
and transfer this information to the controller so it can apply the
appropriate corrections to the system in real time. This guarantees
shop floor measurements to an accuracy that can otherwise only
be obtained in a thermally stable quality control room.

Thermal compensation in action

The graph shows thermal-effect compensation in action during
measurement of an 800 mm steel gauge block mounted diagonally
on the CMM table. The nominal length of the gauge block (as at

Practical measuring ranges

The user defines the task spectrum, Mitutoyo supplies the
solution. Generous measuring ranges allow a greater variety in
the shape of workpiece that can be handled, opening up an
extraordinarily wide field of application for the CMM.

High dynamic performance and flexibility

through digital drive
Mitutoyo‘s coordinate measuring machines use an extremely
powerful 32-bit digital signal processor (DSP) in the control
function. This processor ensures all movements, coordinate
positioning and speed are perfectly controlled for maximum
measuring performance. A major advantage of this approach
is that control programs for accessory devices are quickly and
easily installed. 32-bit digital signal processor
