PKL / APPLICATION-LED SUPPORT

Choose the Right Measurement System for Your Part

VMM and CMM systems solve different inspection problems. Start with part geometry, tolerance, material, and production workflow, then PKL can validate the right path with your real part.

VMM and CMM comparison visual for measurement system selection
01 / PKL

Choose VMM when…

Your parts are small, flat, thin, transparent, visual-feature heavy, or need fast non-contact optical inspection.

02 / PKL

Choose CMM when…

Your parts need accurate 3D inspection, GD&T checks, probing, complex machined features, molds, jigs, or fixtures.

THE NEXT PRACTICAL STEP
