An In-Depth Look Three Reasons to Switch from Arm CMMs to the WM Series

Three reasons to switch from Arm CMMs to the WM Series: a measurement range of up to 25 m, a wireless probe, and inspection reports with images

Reason 1 Measurement range of up to 25 m 82.0'

Conventional unit

Limited range

Arm CMMs have a fixed range of motion, and measurement beyond that range is not possible.

WM Series

Redefining measurement range with a new concept

The WM Series offers a measurement range of up to 25 m 82.0'. Measurement is also possible anywhere within the camera’s field of view.

Reason 2 Wireless probe for simplified measurement

Conventional unit

Difficult to handle

Physical limitations prevent arm CMMs from measuring areas that cannot be reached.

WM Series

Easy-to-handle wireless probe

The WM Series features a wireless probe that is easy to use. Simply place the probe against the target for measurement.

Reason 3 Easy-to-understand measurement results

Conventional unit

Difficulty in identifying measurement locations

With general-purpose CMMs, measurement results are simply lines of numbers and symbols, making it difficult to identify the measurement location.

WM Series

Easy-to-understand inspection reports with images

The WM Series superimposes measurement results directly on images captured by the camera.

This makes it possible to create inspection reports that allow anyone to immediately understand what was measured.

Unparalleled ability to handle various targets with contact and scanning collaboration

All kinds of measurements are possible on site, both in size and shape.

Choose from two probe types for measuring hole distance and other dimensional features as well as curved surfaces and complex shapes.

Application Examples

Adjustment of equipment and measurement after assembly

It is possible to measure the position and tipping after assembly.

Shape measurement of pressed products

Scan measurement of free-form shapes, complex R, etc. can be performed.
