Choosing the Right Equipment for 3D Measurement Devices: Stands, Tripods, and Fixtures
With advancing technology, 3D measurement devices have become an indispensable part of production and quality control processes. However, for these devices to function efficiently and accurately, choosing the right support equipment is crucial. The proper selection of stands, tripods, or fixtures enhances measurement precision while making the process more practical. So, what should you consider when selecting these essential tools?
Choose Based on Your Measurement Device Type
3D measurement devices come in various types: laser scanners, 3D measuring arms, bridge CMMs, gantry CMMs, and horizontal arm CMMs. Each device requires specific support equipment. For instance:
- Laser Scanners: Lightweight and portable tripods are ideal. They offer flexible adjustment options for measurements at various angles.
- 3D Measuring Arms: Magnetic bases ensure the device remains stable and secure, minimizing errors caused by movement during measurement.
- CMM Devices: CMM base plates and fixture tables provide the most accurate solution for precise measurements.
Prioritize Durability and Stability
The durability and stability of support equipment are critical for the success of measurement processes. Heavy-duty stands and tripods ensure long-lasting use in industrial environments. Additionally, selecting materials that minimize vibrations significantly improves measurement accuracy.
Ease of Installation and Practicality
Quick base plates and mounting plates enable the swift placement of measurement devices. These time-saving solutions are particularly advantageous in high-production settings. Portable tripods and magnetic bases are also ideal for fieldwork and confined spaces.
Compatibility and Modularity
The equipment you choose must be fully compatible with your existing measurement device. MetrologyBase products are designed to work seamlessly with devices from various brands. Moreover, modular systems allow equipment to be tailored to your specific needs.
