Factors To Consider When Buying Metrology Measuring Instruments

Buying a video coordinate measuring machine is a big decision because it involves a big financial investment. Another challenge in choosing the right machine is availability of an overwhelming choice of machines in different sizes and technology.

So, how would you choose the right machine for your needs?

Size

The most important factor in a video coordinate measuring machine is its size. The thing to remember is that you should keep your future needs in mind so that you don’t need buying a new weighing scale in future. For example, a machine working in X-Y-Z direction would be 20% bigger than the size of parts to be measured.

Accuracy

Related to functionality of a machine, it determines its quality. There is a set formula for measuring accuracy and the latest technology machines are designed using that formula. You should check the accuracy reading of a machine before making an opinion on it.

Portable or fix

Metrology measuring instruments can be divided into portable and fixed. The buying decision should be based on your needs. For example, if you want to bring parts to the machine then it could be fixed at a place. But you would need a portable machine, if you want to take the measuring unit to the parts.

Operation

Metrology lab equipment suppliers would display different types of machines but your decision should be based on operation of the devices. It is better to choose the machines that are easy to operate or that you can use in a hassle-free manner.
