To ensure precise measurement of special workpieces, coordinate measuring machines have emerged and are widely used in the manufacturing industry, gaining great popularity. As high-precision instruments, coordinate measuring machines are susceptible to external factors affecting their measurement accuracy and require careful storage. Below, Xinli Precision shares how to properly store a coordinate measuring machine after purchase.
Section 1: Stored in the toolbox
When not in use, the three-coordinate measuring instrument should be horizontally placed inside the tool box, and the tool box itself should be placed in a fixed location that is easy to access. To ensure the measurement accuracy of the three-coordinate measuring instrument, store the tool box in a level and undisturbed area without any foreign objects.
Do not store with sharp objects.
Three-coordinate measuring instruments, as precision measurement tools, are prone to damage from sharp objects. Therefore, when handling their storage, operators should keep them separate from sharp tools such as files, abrasives, hammers, and cutting tools. These items are strictly prohibited from being mixed with the three-coordinate measuring instruments to prevent damage or scratches.
Maintain an appropriate storage environment temperature
Due to the requirement of the 3-axis measuring instrument to measure workpieces under specific temperature conditions, it necessitates that the storage environment for this measuring instrument also maintains a reasonable temperature range. The temperature of the storage environment for the 3-axis measuring instrument should be around 20 degrees Celsius, with the temperature fluctuation range not exceeding 2 degrees.
Here are the storage requirements for coordinate measuring machines. We hope this is helpful to you. For more information on 3-axis and 3D coordinate issues, please follow Xinli Dynamics.
