Keyence WM6000 Wide Area Coordinate Measurement Machine

The NASA/NSSC has a requirement for a Keyence WM6000 Wide Area Coordinate Measurement Machine. This equipment will be used in the Rapid Prototyping Laboratory to create digital models from scans of parts and components and to perform quality analysis on printed components. The machine is a multiprobe infrared scanning tool that can scan, measure, and compare components and systems in the lab and in the field. The key features of this machine include its ability to perform rapid high-resolution measurement of complex geometry parts and components, and its portability, which allows it to be taken to test stands if needed. • The machine will be used for rapid high-resolution measurement of complex geometry parts and components. • It will afford the Rapid Prototyping Laboratory the ability to create digital models from scans of parts and components. • It will perform quality analysis on printed components relative to their drawings. • The unit is relatively portable and easy to take out to the test stands if components need to be measured in place.
