It is still fairly portable, it doesn't need to be calibrated every time you move it, but it does all its calculations in reference to its base, so if the base moves, your measurements are off. | |
| Feb 6, 2015 at 14:09 | comment | added | Ethan48 | Thanks Nivag, I think that may be the kind of thing we're looking for. @TrevorArchibald so are you saying we would need to set the tool up in a stationary position, against some sort of reference surface and always take our measurement from there? That's not ideal, but could be done. | |
| Feb 6, 2015 at 13:18 | comment | added | Trevor Archibald | The portable CMM you listed is limited by the arm length too though. You can move it around, but it's only useful when the arm is stationary. You start moving it in between measurements of the same part and you're going to have useless readings. | |
