Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) Inspection
Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) Inspection capabilities allow Barber-Nichols, Inc. (BNI) to compare hardware with solid models. Tolerances can be verified to an extremely high degree of accuracy. BNI can perform CMM Inspections on items up to 120 cm (47 in) long by 150 cm (59 in) wide by 100 cm (39 in) high. The Volumetric Length Measuring Error (MPE E ) on Barber-Nichols' Brown & Sharpe CMM machines is a mere 0.017 microns. BNI uses PC-DMIS CAD++ software which facilitates scanning functions and the ability to accurately measure impellers, inducers, turbine blades, and other complex curved shapes. PC-DMIS CAD++ uses original CAD models for part programming and as a result, programming time is reduced, measuring accuracy is improved, and inspection throughput is increased. Finally, BNI's coordinate measuring machines are calibrated annually to B89.1.12M1990 standards.
