Versatile New Global CMMs From Brown & Sharpe Handle High Speed Scanning, Single Point Measurement With Equal Ease.Business/Technology Editors NORTH KINGSTOWN North Kingstown (kĭng`stən, kĭngz`toun'), town (1990 pop. 23,786), Washington co., S central R.I., on Narragansett Bay; inc. as Kings Towne 1674, divided into North Kingstown and South Kingstown 1723. , R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OCt. 6, 2000 Single-point probing and high speed scanning capability are combined in the new GLOBAL series coordinate measuring machines from Brown & Sharpe. These versatile, high performance CMMs can be equipped with a variety of sensors and software to perform a wide range of measurement and inspection tasks including first piece inspection, layout inspection, reverse engineering, tool set up, process control, and archiving.

GLOBAL Point, Click and Scan Technology A method for testing chips on the printed circuit board by building the chip with additional input and output pins that are used only for test purposes. Full scan methods test all the registers on the chip. (TM) combines and optimizes temperature and accuracy compensation systems, motion controllers and advanced algorithms to support high-speed, high-accuracy analog open and closed loop scanning applications. This advanced technology facilitates high speed scanning by automatically generating scan and probe paths and inserting moves to avoid obstacles. The special Object Oriented See object technology and object-oriented programming. Scanning feature allows the controller to define the scan path scan path - (circuit design) A technique used to increase the controllability and observability of a logic circuit by incorporating "scan registers" into the circuit. Normally these act like flip-flops but they can be switched into a "test" mode where they all become one long shift from only a single user command. Exclusive 3D Vector Force Optimization (3D VFO VFO Variable-Frequency Oscillator VFO Violent Felony Offense VFO Virtual Front Office (Telcordia) VFO Variable Fuel Oil Tank VFO Vrb Fan Out (TM)) performs a 3D force vector analysis at every probe qualification assuring continuous, accurate probe compensation and improved data analysis in all scanning applications. GLOBAL's FAST PROBE(TM) feature allows a scanning probe to be used as a touch trigger probe with no loss of speed or accuracy. GLOBAL CMMs are available in two configurations, GLOBAL STATUS and GLOBAL IMAGE with measuring ranges from X 900 mm, Y 1200 mm, Z 800 mm to X 1200 mm, Y 3000 mm, Z 800 mm. They feature a simple, proven design with 20 percent fewer parts than traditional CMMs for improved reliability and reduced maintenance. TRICISION(TM) bridge design provides optimum stiffness-to-mass ratio with a lower center of gravity and a wider bearing separation than competitive bridge designs. Continuous axes axes [L., Gr.] plural of axis. The straight lines which intersect at right angles and on which graphs are drawn. Usually the horizontal axis is the x-axis and the vertical one the y-axis. Called also axes of reference. motion interpolation interpolation In mathematics, estimation of a value between two known data points. A simple example is calculating the mean (see mean, median, and mode) of two population counts made 10 years apart to estimate the population in the fifth year. and true 3D vector capability (FLY) integrates axes movements by eliminating stops and corners for more precise data collection and improved machine throughput. GLOBAL CMMs are available with three probe systems. Brown & Sharpe's TRAX(R) probe system automatically scans unknown, free form surfaces at speeds of 25 mm/sec. and known surfaces up to 150 mm/sec. with high point density for increased accuracy. For added flexibility, the TRAX probe system can be used in a high precision, FAST PROBE single-point mode, and in a self-centering mode. The optional articulated PH10MQ probe holder and the SP600 probe provide virtually unlimited access to part features. For non-contact measuring applications the PH10MQ supports the Wolf & Beck laser probe.
