On October 17, 2025, a "3D Digitalization and High-Precision Measurement Technology Application Seminar" themed "Intelligent Measurement for the Future, Integration and Empowerment" jointly organized by Xianlin 3D, Led Measurement, and Kangzongnai was successfully concluded in Chengdu. This conference focused on the precision measurement technology in the advanced manufacturing field. The grand unveiling of the high-precision articulated arm three-coordinate measuring machine became the center of attention throughout the event, injecting new impetus into the intelligent upgrade of manufacturing in the southwestern region.The atmosphere at the sign-in area was extremely lively. The enthusiasm of the attendees was already palpable. A thought-provoking exchange about precise measurement and the intelligent future is about to take place!
ControlNice is a global manufacturer of articulated arm coordinate measuring machines, specializing in solving detection problems for high-precision and complex components as well as large-sized workpieces. Our company began developing articulated arm coordinate measuring machines in 1998. After 20 years of dedicated research and development, the measurement accuracy has continuously improved, the range has gradually expanded, and currently the highest measurement accuracy reaches the micrometer level, with a large range of 9 meters.
Articulated arm coordinate measuring machines, with their "high flexibility, portability and powerful measurement capabilities", are gradually becoming powerful tools for on-site detection of complex curved surfaces and large workpieces. The Huaxia Arm measuring machine equipment showcased by ControlNice integrates more advanced technologies and intelligent algorithms, enabling rapid and precise measurement of the size, shape and position tolerances of workpieces, and "digitally" replicating the results to the virtual world, truly achieving "intelligent measurement".

The joint arm measuring machine can quickly and accurately convert complex physical entities into quantifiable three-dimensional data, and provide a basis for decision-making in design, manufacturing and quality control. Its main advantages are as follows:
Three-dimensional precise measurement - replacing traditional gauges
This is the most fundamental and core function. It can replace calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and a large number of traditional measuring tools to complete extremely complex measurement tasks. 1. Dimensional inspection: Quickly measure the diameter of holes, width of slots, position accuracy, etc. of parts. 2. Geometric tolerance inspection: Precisely evaluate the straightness, flatness, roundness, cylindricity, parallelism, perpendicularity, coaxiality, etc. of parts.
Reverse engineering - from physical objects to CAD models
When there are no original drawings or CAD models, the articulated arm is a powerful tool for "reverse engineering".
1. Through dense scanning of the surface of the physical object, obtain its three-dimensional point cloud data.
2. Import these point cloud data into professional software, which can reconstruct an accurate three-dimensional CAD model for product modification, secondary design, rapid prototyping, or mold development.
Online inspection and in-machine inspection - enhancing production efficiency
Online inspection: Directly measure the workpiece on the production line without moving it to a faraway measurement room. This significantly shortens the inspection cycle, enabling timely detection of problems, adjustment of processes, and prevention of batch waste.
Integrating data flow and empowering intelligent manufacturing
The core of this exchange meeting lies in "integration and empowerment".
The joint arm measuring machine is not only an independent inspection tool, but also a data bridge connecting design, manufacturing and quality control.
Presenting in Chengdu, serving the manufacturing industry in the western region
Choosing to hold this technical exchange meeting in Chengdu holds profound strategic significance. As the manufacturing and technological innovation center in the western region, Chengdu and its surrounding areas have gathered multiple key industries such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and electronic information, which are precisely the fields with the most demand for high-precision measurement technology. This presentation aims to bring the most advanced measurement solutions to western enterprises, helping local industries upgrade and innovate.
Discussing with the experts on site, it was stated that the popularization and application of the articulated arm three-coordinate measuring machine will significantly enhance the quality control level and core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry in the southwest region. In the future, with the continuous integration and development of technology, precise measurement will play an even more crucial role in the blueprint of intelligent manufacturing.
