(CMSC: New Orleans, LA) -- The Coordinate Metrology Society, the preeminent membership association for measurement professionals, has announced that its 28th annual Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference (CMSC) will be held July 16–20, 2012, in New Orleans at The Roosevelt Hotel. The five-day event offers educational sessions, networking events, and the latest in measurement and inspection technology and services. With more than 20 white paper presentations each year, the conference explores trends and solutions related to the metrology field. This special event caters to users of portable 3-D coordinate measurement solutions used on manufacturing factory floors or by science laboratories.
Attendees are quality professionals, both expert and novice metrologists who want to expand their skill sets and knowledge, as well as manufacturing executives, scientists, students, teachers, and others. Online attendee registration is now open here. Conference details for exhibitors can be found here.
The CMSC is the place to rub elbows with experts, hobnob with speakers, and make new connections with leaders at the forefront of emerging measurement and inspection trends. The conference always offers a full slate of technical paper presentations covering best practices in diverse metrology applications. But the CMSC agenda also includes measurement studies, workshops, standards seminars, user group meetings, and networking opportunities.
Lastly, attendees get to see what’s new first-hand in the CMSC Exhibitor Hall, which features portable coordinate measuring machines (PCMMs) and measurement systems, software, accessories, peripherals, and inspection and measurement services. PCMM technology displayed at the conference includes industrial photogrammetry solutions, laser trackers, laser radars, articulating arms, GPS systems, laser scanners, laser projection systems, theodolites, and much more.
The Coordinate Metrology Society call for papers for the 2012 CMSC continues until March 1, 2012. Abstract submissions are peer-reviewed by the Coordinate Metrology Society and considered for presentation at CMSC 2012. Notification of acceptance will occur on March 15, 2012. For guidelines or more information about presenting a technical paper at CMSC 2012, contact Michael Raphael, technical presentations coordinator, at presentations@cmsc.org. Guidelines for presentations and technical papers can be downloaded at 2012 CMSC Guidelines. Conference speakers gain recognition as industry experts, and all accepted white papers are peer-reviewed and considered for publication in the Journal of the CMSC, which is published twice a year.
Founded in 1984, the Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS)—presenter of the Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference (CMSC)—is a large society of users, service providers, and OEM manufacturers of close tolerance, industrial coordinate measurement systems, software and peripherals. These metrology systems include traditional CMMs, electronic theodolites, laser projection systems, laser trackers, laser radar, photogrammetry and videogrammetry systems, scanning devices, and articulating arms. The society assembles at the CMSC to learn about advancements in use or development of any measurement system or software that produce, utilize, and analyze 3-D coordinate data.
