Description

The three-coordinate measuring machine is a device that measures the physical coordinates of an object in several discrete positions on the surface of the object, with a contact or optical sensor. The Metrology Laboratory has two calibrated, "bridge" type, three-coordinate measuring machines that have a resolution of 1 micron and allow measurements to be made within a volume of approximately half a cubic meter. The machines are installed on benches isolated from the rest of the building to ensure that they are not affected by external vibrations.
