Coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is used to measures the geometry of physical objects by sensing discrete points on the surface of the object with a probe. This machine may be processor controlled or physically controlled by a machinist. The dimensions are defined by a probe attached to the third affected axis of this mechanism. Probes can be automatic, white light, optical, or laser, among others. The typical "bridge" CMM is assembled from three axes, an X, Y and Z. These axes are orthogonal to each other in a normal three-dimensional cohesion system. Each axis has a level organization that indicates the position of that axis. A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is also used in the manufacturing process to test an assembly or division against the design intent by use of video measuring system. By accurately recording the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the target, points are generated that can be analyzed through regression algorithms to build features.
Curious systems for micro-scale video metrology application is another emerging area where metrology machines are used. There are many commercially obtainable coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) whose systems include a microprobe, many specialized systems in government
laboratories, and any number of institutions of higher learning that have built a metrology platform for micro-scale metrology.
Even though these machines are good in many cases of metrology platforms, their primary restriction is a reliable, vigorous, capable micro/nano probe. Technologies for obtaining probes on a microscopic scale include a smaller version of the conventional CMM probe, an optical probe, and a standing wave probe among others. However, current optical technology cannot be scaled down enough to measure a deep, narrow feature, and the optical command is limited by the wavelength of the light. X-ray image provides a picture of the facility but not detectable metrology information. ViewMM is a leading vision metrology company providing a range of video measurement system for leading technology companies in micromanufacturing, data storage, semiconductor, solar cell, and MEMs to develop and control critical manufacturing processes.
