µCMM Optical Coordinate Measuring System

So far, geometries such as the bore holes of injection valves in the automotive industry, for example, could hardly be measured optically. Lateral probing of components with vertical surfaces was limited to tactile measuring systems, CT solutions or complex special solutions. This changes with a new function of the optical coordinate measuring system µCMM from Bruker Alicona. Vertical surfaces of more than 90° can now also be measured optically.
