Multi-Sensor CMM Measurement

[Fred_Roger27]

Can anyone advise me on the best system to use for sensor measurement on a CMM? I have an application around fuel cell design, and I need to use

- Contact Scanning
- A non-contact line Scanner
- A non-contact point scanner
- A camera

I have limited space so ideally, I would like this all on one machine
It is hard for me to judge if any of the major CMM manufacturers can achieve this on one machine.

Thanks Fred

In which country does this "problem" arise?
Are you sure that you require all 4 stated methods of measurement? A camera won't per se measure, but will provide images that when used in conjunction with software, can provide measurement information derived from the images

Have you decided you need a specific solution without talking to a cmm maker? Do you have a cmm? Are you concluding that one machine can’t provide the solution without talking to a manufacturer? I know sales people don’t always know the answers, but they know people who do.

Not sure about all of the features you listed, but we use multiple OGP SmartScopes and love them. They are multisensor systems and use optical, laser, and touch probes. They come in all sizes from compact benchtop units for tiny parts to large capacity gantry systems.
OGP also has many systems/sensor combos other than the SmartScope, but I do not have any experience with those.

Hi Fred_roger27,

What parameters, accuracy are required? Has white/blue light scanning been considered...such as ATOS/Zeiss or similar systems? Here is a general link:

ATOS Compact Scan

Hope this helps - Optomist1

If you have a cmm, what make is it and what probing do you currently have?
