CMM-Manager is compatible with all portable arm CMMs as well as several large volume systems such as Metris K-CMM, API Tracker, and 7D Metrology iGPS.
Compatible Portable Arms
- FARO – Gold, Silver, Sterling, Bronze, Titanium, Platinum, Edge, Quantum
- Romer/ Hexagon – Infinite, Stinger, Absolute
- Kreon – Ace
- Metris – MCA I & MCA II
- Nikon – MCAx
- LK – Freedom Arm
- Tomelleri – Space / Space Plus
- RPS Metrology Arm
- Trimos – A5 / A6
- Revware – MicroScribe Arm
Portable arms from companies like Hexagon AB, FARO Technologies, and Kreon Technologies offer excellent flexibility on the shop floor. However, manufacturers often receive them with proprietary software that limits functionality or fails to work with the software used on traditional CMMs.
CMM-Manager eliminates that problem by giving operators a unified interface across bridge CMMs, portable arms, and vision systems. As a result, teams run inspections on different devices without retraining operators or switching between multiple software platforms.
Compatible Large Volume Systems
- 7D Kinematic Metrology – iGPS
- API – Radian Laser Tracker / vProbe
- Metris / Nikon – Krypton / K-CMM
Large assemblies such as aerospace structures, wind turbine components, and automotive body-in-white push traditional CMMs beyond their practical limits. In these cases, manufacturers turn to laser trackers and photogrammetry systems to handle large-volume measurements. However, the software that comes with these systems often remains specialized and isolated within its own ecosystem. With CMM-Manager, teams can break down those barriers by sharing inspection programs across their CMMs, portable arms, and large-volume metrology devices, creating a more unified and flexible measurement workflow.
Software for Manual Systems
CMM-Manager Manual Standard is designed specifically for use with manual coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and, as a result, provides a robust and efficient set of measurement tools tailored for operators who rely on hands-on inspection processes. In particular, it is well suited for shops that want powerful measurement capabilities while maintaining the simplicity and control of manual operation, rather than investing in full CNC automation. Furthermore, the software supports a wide range of commonly used CAD formats, making it easy to integrate into existing workflows. These supported formats include IGES, STEP, DXF, as well as several XYZ point data formats, thereby enabling users to import and evaluate part geometry quickly and efficiently.
It’s a software configuration optimized for manual CMMs that includes:
- Full 3D CAD support
- Graphical measurement programming
- GD&T evaluation tools
- Comprehensive reporting options
