Maintaining Your CMM Machine

QCI CMM inspection operator using a DEA CMM machines to conduct subcontract inspection on some aerospace components for a customer. The operator is manually adjusting the CMM program to be able to inspect the aerospace parts on the CMM machine. The parts are fixted to the granite surface using a specialist CMM fixture.

In order for your CMM to continuously operate in a safe and accurate way, then then the following maintenance schedule should be followed:

WARNING

Be sure to turn the main disconnect switch to OFF when making adjustments, removing or replacing covers, guards, components, and when making inspections which require physical contact with the machine. Some inspection and adjustments requires the MAIN DISCONNECT SWITCH to be in the ON position to provide necessary power. In such cases, use extreme caution prevent personal injury.
