Coordinate Measuring Machine.


Romer
This page is about the cartographic mechanism called a "Romer" or "Roamer"; for people named Romer see Romer (surname)


A Romer or Roamer is a simple device for accurately plotting a grid reference on a map.
 has integrated its 7th Axis Linear Rail and the new 3000i arm to provide a package that combines high accuracy with an increased measurement volume for large-scale objects. The 3000i, an advanced portable coordinate measuring machine, is accurate to 0.0008 in. and is ideal for inspecting or reverse engineering components that are impractical im·prac·ti·cal  
adj.
1. Unwise to implement or maintain in practice: Refloating the sunken ship proved impractical because of the great expense.

2.
 or impossible to move to a stationary CMM (Capability Maturity Model) A process developed by SEI in 1986 to help improve, over time, the application of an organization's supporting software technologies. . The linear rail utilizes a heavy-duty extrusion with a high-resolution linear encoder A linear encoder is a sensor, transducer or readhead paired with a scale that encodes position. The sensor reads the scale in order to convert the encoded position into an analog or digital signal, which can then be decoded into position by a digital readout (DRO).  and a linear guideway to increase the measuring range of the arm by up to 12 ft. This system allows inspection of large parts, and the rail can be mounted horizontally or vertically with the arm mounted vertically, upside-down or horizontally without recalibration.
