Abstract

THE Vector Measuring Machine (VMM) has been used successfully for many years as a part shape development tool; however, inspection departments have hesitated on giving up their inspection fixtures and using their VMMs as an accepted inspection instrument. The reason that Vector Measuring Machines have not been widely accepted in the bent tube industry as an inspection tool can be summed up in one word. Accuracy.
