What are the applications of linear guides in precision measuring equipment?

●Automatic coordinate measuring machine

Automatic coordinate measuring machine is a kind of high precision measuring equipment, which can be used for three-dimensional coordinate measurement,shape measurement and surface topography measurement.Because the automatic coordinate measuring machine needs to locate and measure the coordinates and positions of objects, it needs to have high precision and high rigidity linear guide rail to ensure the accuracy of coordinate measurement.

●High-precision coordinate system

High precision coordinate coordinate is a kind of high precision measuring equipment,which can be used to measure the length,Angle and position of the object.Because the CMM needs to ensure the accuracy and reliability of its measurement results,it must use high-precision and high-rigidity linear guides.

●Optical instruments

An optical instrument is a measuring device used to measure light and optical properties,such as light sources,lenses,filters,optical devices,and surface topography.Since optical instruments need to measure invisible objects and objects under special conditions,it is necessary to ensure high precision and high reliability of their motion.

●Scanners and cameras

Scanners and cameras are devices used to capture and measure parameters such as the three-dimensional shape and surface topography of objects.Because scanners and cameras require high-speed motion and high-precision control,high-precision and high-rigidity linear guides are required.

The above are just some application cases of linear guides in precision measurement equipment. Based on different surface topography, shape and other factors,different types of precision measuring equipment need to consider different aspects in the design and selection of linear guides. However, due to the requirements of precision measuring equipment for high precision, high speed, high rigidity and high load movement, linear guide rail is generally selected as the core component.
