| Coordinate measuring machines of the column type (horizontal arm type) are used predominantly, owing to their very large measuring range, for checking sheet metal, cast iron and steel parts in the automotive industry, aircraft construction and shipbuilding. In these measuring machines, maximum accessibility has been achieved.
However, the bending of the cantilever above the measuring area caused by the unilateral mounting must be compensated by means of suitable mechanical or software-related measures.
In the automotive industry, column measuring machines are often used in the twin-cantilever design for measuring car bodies in white. The measuring systems of the measuring machines opposite to one another are independent of one another and must be adjusted to one another.
