METRIS-NIKON MCA II 5124 measuring machine built in 2011 is a
versatile device that can be used for measuring both small-sized
objects as well as complex, large-sized parts. In addition, thanks to
the computerisation of measurement procedures and its compact design,
the machine can be used directly in the production environment or even
inside the measured objects.
The measurement process starts with an angular displacement of the
arms to ‘pass’ through reference points. The operator then brings
the machine’s measuring tip to the surface of the measured workpiece
and validates the coordinates using a button located on the head. The
coordinates are then transformed by the calculation procedures to the
cartesian system (X,Y,Z), where they are used as the basis for
determining the dimensions by approximation of the measured features
and geometric figures, i.e. circles, cylinders and cones.
The MCA II METRIS 5124 coordinate measuring arm allows for the
following operations:
– measurement of dimensional and geometric deviations of
workpieces
– measurement of parts with regular geometric shapes
– measurement of parts with curved surfaces
– digitalisation of objects
