CMM Styli, Base Plates & Fixturing

CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) fixturing plays a critical role in metrology by securely holding and positioning a workpiece during measurement. This stability is paramount for accurate, repeatable, and reproducible results. Without proper fixturing, parts can shift, vibrate, or be misaligned, leading to unreliable data. Effective CMM fixturing ensures that the CMM probe consistently contacts the correct points on the part, enabling precise dimensional and geometric inspections essential for quality control.
