Vertical digitizing measuring machines and coordinate measuring machines are two different types of measuring devices used in manufacturing technology to perform precision measurements on components. A vertical digitizing gauge is a device used to measure the height and position of components or workpieces. It consists of a vertical rod attached to a sturdy base and a measuring arm attached to the top of the rod. The measuring arm is equipped with a measuring head that can be moved either manually or automatically to take measurements at different points on the workpiece. Measurements are shown on a digital display that allows the operator to quickly and accurately read the results. A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is a precision mechanical device used to measure the exact dimensions of components. It consists of a fixed base on which moves a horizontal arm equipped with a measuring head. The measuring head can be moved on all three axes (x, y and z) to perform measurements at different points on the workpiece. The gauge is capable of taking measurements in very small increments, which allows for very high accuracy. The measurements are shown on a digital display that allows the operator to read the results quickly and accurately. Overall, vertical digitizing gauges and coordinate measuring machines are important tools in manufacturing engineering, as they allow precise measurements to be made and ensure that components meet requirements.
