AIMS receives $100,000 grant to develop vision/image recognition technology for CMMs

AIMS Metrology, Dayton, Ohio, in collaboration with Fastlane (an Ohio Manufacturing Extension Partnership affiliate of the University of Dayton Research Institute) and SK Mold and Tool, has been awarded a $100,000 grant to develop new vision and image recognition technology for its CMMs.

The new camera system is expected to improve reliability of probe configurations and reduce CMM setup time from 30 min. to 3 min.

“Operator error will be eliminated,” said AIMS President Dave Delph. “We have developed a camera feature with very high resolution that will use an interface we create to verify probe parameters such as stylus size and extension before the instrument is released to inspect parts.”
