The evolution of geometric measurement spans one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional measurement. The most representative three-dimensional measurement instrument is the three-axis coordinate measuring machine (CMM). With technological advancements, Edward Measurements has successfully expanded and evolved this technology by integrating a precision turntable into existing CMMs, enabling the development of four-axis synchronized measurement software and hardware.
Two Application Modes for Precision Turntables with CMMs
Horizontal Use: The rotary axis of the turntable is perpendicular to the CMM’s Y-axis.
Vertical Use: The rotary axis of the turntable is parallel to the CMM’s Z-axis.
Note: Usage modes can be selected based on customer requirements.
Precision Turntable Measurement Solutions
For rotational parts (e.g., impellers, turbines, blade disks, hydraulic components), traditional methods require repeated probe rotations or multi-angle styli, significantly reducing efficiency and delaying production line results. The precision turntable solution streamlines inspection tasks, enabling rapid and convenient measurements.
Developed independently by AEH, the precision turntable enhances measurement efficiency when integrated with existing CMMs. AEH’s turntables feature high load capacity, smooth motion, high positioning accuracy, and customizable installation structures to meet user-specific needs.
Typical Applications
Four-Axis Synchronized Measurement Mode
Delivers fast measurement speeds and high efficiency, minimizing workpiece repositioning. No precise centering or axis alignment is required during clamping. Compatible with various probes to inspect diverse workpiece types.
Inspection of Housing-Type Workpieces
In four-axis mode, the software automatically calculates turntable rotation angles based on the vector directions of CAD model elements, enabling rapid measurement through turntable rotation.
Inspection of Cylindrical Surface Features
Simplifies measurement of elements distributed on cylindrical surfaces. For uniformly arranged elements, rapid programming via array patterns is achievable.
