explaining the machine

this guy was great and kind of reminded me of when my dad explains stuff. red-shirted guy: you were fantastic and i really wanted to stay longer to hear more about this cmm, but i had already kept my friends waiting for awhile.

 

the coordinate measuring machine is used to precisely measure and check specific points on a machined part against the engineer's specifications. the tiny probe touches the part it various places and makes a little 'beep!' when the measurement is taken. it was very cool to see such a big machine working so quickly yet so daintily.
