"Time to Service your CMM"

Your CMM needs periodic attention by a qualified service engineer to ensure it delivers the results you expect. The demand on the CMM to deliver accurate reported values day after day and year after year often is taken for granted. Most organizations do not check the accuracy of the CMM on a regular basis instead they rely on outside services to "validate" the CMM accuracy. This can often lead to erroneous results as most services that support many brands can not be expects on any brand.

No matter what CMM brand you own, it is suggested to have the factory perform periodic service to ensure it meets the standards and prevent potential liability issues. To have your Helmel CMM serviced and maintained to it's highest standard, contact our service department at (716) 297-8644 or request information here.

Geomet Tip & Tricks

The Planar Profile Tool

Measuring a plane provides only a small set of answers to what the plane really looks like. The normal reporting of a plane produces the orientation, known as projected angles and the Part Coordinate Pierce axis point. To understand what the plane looks like, we need to look at every data point that was used to create the plane. The Geomet tool used to analyze the plane is the Planar Profile.

To help you to learn about the power of Geomet, we are launching a series of tutorials and programming examples. Do you need a specific example? Please submit to us a request to include a tutorial or programming example in future GeoNews editions.
