(AIMS Metrology: Dayton, OH) -- Metrology continues to transition from its role as a final quality control checkpoint to an inline and in-process function. The ability to check parts as they are made enables manufacturers to adjust equipment in real time, helping to reduce scrap and rework. The diverse needs of a volatile marketplace prompted AIMS Metrology to expand its measurement and inspection products and develop new options in response to customer feedback.

The OEM will demonstrate its new multisensor 5-axis coordinate measuring machines (CMM) along with a new software platform and new options for FlexGauge and CCP comparators in Booth 134242 at IMTS 2026 in Chicago.

What the company has heard from manufacturing engineers is the need to inspect parts right on the shop floor in real time. This capability has been a core strength of its shop-floor series machines such as the HB and Summit 10.10.10. But advances in automotive drivetrain, defense, and aerospace components are moving that baseline and dictating tighter tolerances across the board. To meet those needs, AIMS designed and built the 5-axis multisensor LM-SF.
