Best Answer

A 'coordinate-measuring machine' (CMM) is a device for dimensional measuring. It is a machine that is used to move a measuring probe to obtain the coordinates of points on an object surface.

What are the modern uses of coordinate measuring machines?

CMM are used for precise measurement of parts manually or autonomously. CMM are capable to measure complex geometry and compound angles that would otherwise be impossible to measure. Some CMM can measure a part and convert it into a 3D image. CMM are common in manufacturing enviroments.


Coordinate measuring machine advantages and disadvantages?

Advantages: 1) High precision and accuracy. 2) Requires less labor. 3) Accurate dimensions can be obtained just by knowing the coordinates and distance between the two reference points. 4) Robustness against external force and error accumulation. Disadvantages: 1) The Coordinate measuring machines are very costly. 2) The CMMs are less portable. 3) If the operating software cracks down it is difficult to restart the entire system. 4) It needs to construct some feature on its own as some parts of the workpiece are unreachable by the probe.

What is a pair of numbers that can be used to find a point on a coordinate grid?

They are called the coordinates. More specifically, the one measuring the distance in the horizontal direction is the abscissa, the one in the vertical direction is the ordinate.
