Coordinate Measuring Machines
Novacam’s 3D Non-Contact Coordinate Measuring Machines are designed with versatility and superior performance in mind:
- Precision (better than 1um)
- Speed (1-30 thousand measurements per second)
- Simultaneous dimensional and surface inspection
- Smallest probes measuring 0.9mm in diameter
- Automation by teaching with joystick
- Portability
Highly robust and compact, Novacam CMMs operate in the laboratory or on the production floor. They deploy Novacam’s Microcam3D and 4D with fiber based probes allowing for inspection in tight spaces such as bore holes with inner diameters of less than 1/16″. Given the high accuracy and speed of Novacam’s Microcam 3D and 4D coordinate measuring machines the application field is extremely wide. The measurements include: deviation maps from CAD, GD&T, flatness, surface profile, roughness, thickness, volume loss, parallelism, perpendicularity, profile of a line, angularity, circularity, straightness, symmetry, cylindricity, datum qualification and circular runout.
The Microcam CMM product line is made to adapt to any work piece, regardless of surface properties thanks to the advantages of LCI (low-coherence interferometry) technology. It bears in mind that the growing variety of applications in various fields and activities is creating a new generation of users that are looking for coordinate measuring machines that aptly suits their purposes. First time users will appreciate the simplicity of the Novacam Microcam 3D user interface. Using a control device (joystick) it is very easy to start a measurement for objects of all levels of complexities. Experienced users will of course feel comfortable with features such as laser pointing and audio feedback which emulate the touch and feel of a conventional CMM. All of Novacam’s Coordinate Measuring Machines use the same metrology software developed by Novacam.
Measure any material with ease: transparent, opaque, specular, diffusive, polished, rough etc. Novacam’s Microcam 3D/4D 4 Axis non-contact portable CMMs offer 1um precision (or better) on practically any surface with speeds up to 30000 points per second. Novacam Coordinate Measuring Machines are configured in size, speed and scanning capabilities for your needs. They offer online integration capability, small footprint and true portability. Depending on work piece, ultra-portable CMM inspection stations weighing 20 lbs (10kg) are available.
