What does CMM machines use in software

Hello folks.
I am wondering about CMM machine softwares. Are they using LinuxCNC? If they are not using LinuxCNC, would it be appropriate solution for these kind of machines? Do you know any open source CMM machine, CMM software etc.?

Thank you for your time.

Well just recently i have talked with Mitutoyo Application and Services engineer(From Japan) according to him Linuxcnc Could work for motion part only and also requires to develope some kinametics coz CMM and CNC both use diffrent kinametics and he also suggest me to lookout for develope DMIS(Dimensional Measuring Interface Standerd) application you required Point Cloud Library and 3D cad data reader and converter and also high speed(in term of time not velocity) interface for reading Feedback Encoder and probe signle interface.

Thank you, yrsiddhapura. I am only talking about in the machine context. When we think a CMM machine, what software controls it's motion, axises etc. Can we consider a CMM machine as very sensitive CNC machine which is controlled by LinuxCNC? They both have axes, they both can run with probes etc. I mean can we build a simple CMM machine with LinuxCNC. They both work with coordinate system in software.

For any Machine tool or CMM the underlying motion control part is the same.
But the user program is in a different format for machining or measuring applications
LinuxCNC uses the G-code standard interpreter meant for machining applications.
CMM uses the DMIS standard interpreter which is meant for measuring application - DMIS is a method to capture and record the required data points
Yes It is possible to create/add measuring cycle with G-Code by modifying the Linuxcnc interpreter but user program will not be a standard DMIS program

Thank you sivaraj.

Hi.

I recently wrote some macros for a pyvcp panel. Tilman and I called it easyprobe. (github->hausen8->easyprobe) In the newest version I implemented a routine to measure as many points one like an write the values in a txt file.

So yes. One xould build some kind of panel or screen and get some usefull results. Maybe of intrest.

Best regards
