Bruker's Nano Surface division and Cetim announce the installation by Bruker of the Contour CMM coordinate measuring machine at Cetim.
The collaboration agreement between Bruker and Cetim aims to validate, over a period of one year, the accuracy and performance of this exceptional machine, unique in Europe, on a wide range of parts and applications. Cetim will also use it for research and development purposes, and offer its services to manufacturers in Europe and North Africa wishing to use the Contour CMM to obtain extremely precise 3D measurements. This new instrument offers the possibility of simultaneously measuring: surface topography on a nanometric scale, roughness, texture and geometric and dimensional tolerances in 3D (GD&T). This innovative solution for high-precision 3D measurements is of particular interest to the aerospace, automotive, medical and precision engineering sectors.
"Contour CMM at the crossroads of research and industrysays Gilles Jalabert, head of Cetim's metrology laboratory. With this equipment, Cetim now has a complete 3D metrology offering: from measurement drones for very large or inaccessible parts, to high-precision 3D scanning for small parts, to high-precision multi-sensor 3D measurement.".
"We chose Cetim because of its unique position to explore the full capabilities of the Contour CMM. The institute also has the know-how to actively participate in the evolution and improvement of the instrument. What's more, Cetim will be able to draw on its expertise and reputation to present the unique possibilities of the Contour CMM to a wide range of companies in the field of precision manufacturing.adds James Earle, Vice-President and General Manager of Tribology and Tactile and Optical Metrology at Bruker. With this partnership, we hope Contour CMM will show the extent of its capabilities for many applications."
