We are investigating the viability of CMM technology in our shop. No time-sensitivity to it, just some scouting.
Given the size (some with very small detail, say a .015 dia nipple at the end of a pin with a 30-degree angle, tolerances in the .0002 (total) range, the need to check roundness, concentricity, taper, and in some cases thin-walled ejector sleeves that misbehave under spring pressure, I'm pointing my nose in the direction of non-contact laser/light CMMs.
Does anyone have experience with the Novacam Microcam 3D? It appears small/portable, which would lend itself to either the "lab" environment or out on the production floor.
