CHERRY POINT, N.C. (July 26, 2022) Ben Pate, operations manager at Fleet Readiness Center East’s (FRCE) Precision Measurement Center, operates a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). A CMM is a device that measures the geometry of physical objects by sensing points on the surface of the object with a probe. This machine is one of two new CMMs FRCE acquired capable of large-volume measurement. Depot officials say the additional machines will improve efficiency and reduce wait times caused by maintenance and equipment calibration.
