Metrology Accessories
Did You Know?
Did you know that metrology accessories are tools and equipment used in conjunction with metrology instruments to improve their performance, accuracy, and functionality? Common types of metrology accessories include calibration standards, reference artifacts, fixtures and clamps, probe heads and styli, data analysis software, and measurement stands. Calibration standards are used to verify the accuracy of metrology instruments, while reference artifacts are used as a standard of comparison for metrology instruments, allowing them to be calibrated and verified. Fixtures and clamps are used to securely hold the object being measured in place, ensuring accurate and repeatable measurements. Probe heads and styli are used to improve the accuracy and versatility of metrology instruments by allowing measurements to be taken in tight spaces or at awkward angles, and to measure complex shapes and features.
