The portable TRITOP CMM system measures coordinates of three-dimensional objects quickly and precisely. Measuring tasks that were traditionally performed by tactile 3D coordinate measuring machines can now be carried out easily with the TRITOP CMM system. It does not require any complex, heavy and maintenance-intensive hardware. The measuring machine comes to the object.
As with tactile coordinate measuring machines, TRITOP records the coordinates and their orientation in space for any feature of interest:
Surface points and sections
Primitives
Holes, punch holes and edges
Diameters, lengths, angles
After the 3D coordinates have been determined, the measurement is mathematically transformed into the coordinate system of the component:
RPS
Gage alignment
Best-fit
The measured and aligned data is used for various tasks:
CAD comparison
Verification of shape and position tolerances
Verification of specifications from drawings, files or tables
Initial measurements
Fields of application
Inspection of sheet metal parts and car bodies, e.g. in pilot production, process optimization, tool try-outs, series production ramp-up or during random samples
Quality control of large objects, e.g. aircraft, ships, wind turbines, etc.
Verification of plastic parts, e.g. for first article inspection
Verification and recording of fixtures
Measuring of models and prototypes, e.g. vehicle interior and exterior design
Verification of tubes and wires with respect to their three-dimensional shape
Measuring trimming edges of two-dimensional sheet metal blanks
Deformation analysis of car and climate chamber tests
