The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS), the preeminent membership association for measurement professionals, has announced their “Call for Papers” in anticipation of the 2011 Coordinate Metrology Systems Conference (CMSC). This 27th annual event will be held in Phoenix, Arizona from July 25-29, 2011. Metrology professionals are invited to submit abstracts for presentations and technical papers covering industry best practices, scientific research and developments, and successful applications of 3D coordinate measurement systems. The CMSC is the only North American conference dedicated solely to users of portable, high-precision measurement technology used to inspect manufactured and assembled components on the factory floor.
Abstract submissions will be peer-reviewed by the Coordinate Metrology Society and considered for presentation at CMSC 2011. The deadline for abstracts is March 1, 2011. For guidelines or more information about presenting a technical paper at CMSC 2011 contact Michael Raphael, technical presentations coordinator, at presentations@cmsc.org. Guidelines for presentations and technical papers can be downloaded at the Web site listed here. At the 2010 CMSC, 25 expert presentations covering technology, theory, and practice to advance the field of 3D metrology were delivered by industry leaders from Northrop Grumman, Harris Corporation, NIST, Lawrence Livermore, National Physical Laboratory (NPL), Spirit AeroSystems, Hitachi Engineering & Services Corp., Argonne National Laboratory, ISRO Satellite Centre, Institute of Measurement and Automatic Control, Voith Hydro Inc., Sigma Space Corporation, Royal Institute of Technology, and other companies and educational institutions.
The Coordinate Metrology Society convenes each year to gather information and attend white paper presentations delivered by their peers. Attendees include novice and veteran technology users, service providers, and OEM manufacturers of close-tolerance, portable industrial coordinate measurement systems, software, and peripherals. In the Exhibition Hall, visitors explore the latest in laser projection systems, laser radar, laser trackers, articulating arms, photogrammetry/videogrammetry systems, scanners, and indoor GPS.
