Scale by Motion

A unique feature to CNC Scanner is the ability to scale by motion. With this method, scale is

established by the distance that the machine moves when a distinct point is repositioned from one end

of the field of view to the other end. This point can be:



Machined corners or other geometric features



Dust, pores, grains, scratches, corrosion – any recognizable feature

Scaling by motion will provide improved scaling accuracy of the scanned image when compared to the

traditional scaled by image method. This is because scaling accuracy is determined by the positioning

accuracy of the CNC machine. In the case of the Tormach PCNC, this is better than .001".
