Demo and Used Video CMMs
Video CMMs
Video coordinate measuring machines (CMM) first came into use in the 1980's. By the early 1990's, benchtop, user-friendly, capable systems were found in quality labs across the country. Today, used video CMMs can offer good value to buyers who are looking for a precise measurement solution without the high cost.
Before deciding to buy a used video CMM, it's important to understand that this fast moving technology may require upgrades and that support may be limited. Answering the following questions can help you decide whether a used video CMM is the right option for you. What is the state of calibration? Is it possible to upgrade the equipment? What equipment is needed to upgrade (i.e. new cameras and optics? new motion controllers? ) Are parts, service, and support still available for the equipement you're considering? Is operator training available?

Why Buy Used?
Most measuring systems live relatively easy lives compared to other manufacturing equipment. In many cases, hardware and software upgrades can make the equipment as good as new. This offers buyers a unique opportunity to save money. While many buyers are tempted by the price, fully understanding the total cost of ownership, including the costs of installation, calibration, upgrading, and repair, will help you evaluate whether you’re really getting a good deal. The bottom line is that used measuring systems offer great value when you make educated buying decisions.
