Coordinate Measuring Machines are often installed in locations where extreme temperatures are the norm. While a CMM is needed nearby to quickly and accurately measure components coming off the line, extreme temperatures can cause the machine or the parts to expand or contract at different coefficients. If the ambient temperature is not precisely controlled, the CMM may deliver inaccurate measurements that result in significant and often expensive impacts on production.
Modular CMM rooms are designed to accommodate mechanical equipment and ensure that temperatures within the CMM enclosures remain stable. With precise environmental controls, Coordinate Measuring Machines are optimized to deliver precise measurements. Strict temperature stability also works to protect the longevity of your coordinate measuring machines. Safely enclosed in a durable, temperature-controlled CMM room, your valuable asset is in an ideal environment that minimizes maintenance requirements and maximizes the machine’s life.
