Key Reasons for Continuous Power :
- Measurement Accuracy and Repeatability: CMMs operate at micron-level precision and are highly sensitive to environmental and operational disruptions. An unstable power supply (e.g., voltage fluctuations) can interfere with the sensitive electronics, position encoders, and motion control systems, leading to inaccurate or inconsistent measurement results.
- System Reliability and Data Integrity: A CMM's "brain" is its controller and integrated software, which process vast amounts of data in real time to calculate dimensions. A power loss during a measurement cycle can corrupt data, halt automated inspection routines, and make it difficult to restart the system, leading to production delays.
- Protection of Sensitive Components: CMMs contain sophisticated and expensive components, including precision motors, air bearings (which require a constant supply of clean compressed air powered by electrical systems), and probe systems. Sudden power loss or surges can damage these delicate parts, resulting in costly repairs and machine downtime.
- Maintaining Thermal Stability: CMM accuracy is inherently tied to temperature. Measurement labs are often climate-controlled to maintain a constant temperature (typically 20°C or 68°F) to prevent thermal expansion of the CMM structure and the part being measured. Consistent power is necessary to run the environmental control systems and the machine's own temperature compensation technology effectively.
- Automation and Unattended Operation: Many modern CMMs are integrated into automated manufacturing lines and programmed to run inspection cycles without constant operator intervention. Continuous power is essential to support this autonomous operation, especially for overnight runs or high-volume production, maximizing efficiency and throughput.
