CMM Programming & Inspection

Support

Expert CMM Programming Services

At ARC Metrology Ltd, our team of highly skilled CMM Application Engineers provides expert CMM programming support across various industries. Whether you require on-site or offline CMM programming, we deliver robust and efficient solutions that enhance inspection throughput while ensuring accuracy, repeatability, and compliance with industry standards.

Our CMM Programming Process

1 .Drawing Review & Feasibility Analysis

• We begin by carefully reviewing the engineering drawing to assess the feasibility of all required measurements.
• If needed, we identify potential measurement challenges and discuss them with your team to ensure practical, reliable inspection routines.

2. Ballooned Drawings for Measurement Clarity

• Using our in-house software, MarkUp Inspector, we generate a ballooned drawing that clearly highlights each critical feature for measurement.
• This process streamlines the programming phase and ensures full traceability.

3. CMM Program Development

• We create highly efficient CMM measurement routines tailored to your part requirements.
• Programs can be developed for stage inspections, final inspections, or full First Article Inspection Reports (FAIR) for New Product Introduction (NPI).

4. Validation & Optimization

• If required, we perform Gauge Repeatability & Reproducibility (GR&R) studies and Correlation Studies to validate the measurement process.
• We can also supply CMM programs for your in-house inspectors to execute seamlessly.



CMM Program Optimization & Cycle Time Reduction

• Do you have existing CMM programs that are slow or inefficient?
• Are your inspection routines causing bottlenecks in production?

Our team specializes in CMM program optimization to reduce cycle times, improve throughput, and enhance measurement efficiency while maintaining accuracy.

🔹 Optimized probing paths to minimize movement and speed up inspection.
🔹 Reduction of redundant measurement steps for a more streamlined process.
🔹 Best practice strategies to maximize accuracy and repeatability.
🔹 Optimized fixturing techniques to minimize setup time and operator intervention.

We ensure your CMM programs run faster, smoother, and more efficiently, helping you meet production targets with minimal downtime.

Offline & On-Site CMM Programming Support

To minimize CMM downtime, we provide offline programming services, allowing your machine to remain operational while we develop the program remotely. Once complete, we install and validate the program on-site, ensuring it runs smoothly.
