CMM Programming Services
Expert CMM programming combining knowledge and skills to produce efficient, robust programs for your measurement needs
From One-Off Inspections to Volume Production
ABT’s subcontract CMM programming service combines expert knowledge and part programming skills to produce efficient and robust CMM programs. From one-off inspections to volume production, our CMM programming service will deliver.
We are experts at utilising Renishaw PH20, REVO and REVO-2 systems to measure any part. Programming onsite or remotely in the DMIS-based Modus software, our engineers will write an efficient and robust CMM program.
Our offline CMM programming and simulation software enables us to create inspection programs from your CAD model or drawing prior to your part being available. Once your physical component becomes available, the CMM measurement program is ready to go live, meaning you benefit from a reduced lead-time and enabling you to maximise your productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which CMM systems can you program for?
We specialize in Renishaw systems (PH20, REVO, REVO-2) using Modus software and Sheffield systems using MeasureMax. We also work with Quindos 7, LK Camio, Taylor Hobson systems, and any DMIS or I++ based software.
Can you program remotely?
Yes! We run Modus and MesaureMax internally and can uses these to create your programs remotely. Offline programming allows us to create programs before parts are available, then prove them out remotely or during an on-site visit.
How long does it take to create a CMM program?
Timeline depends on part complexity and measurement requirements. Simple parts can be programmed in days, while complex assemblies may take 1-2 weeks. With offline programming, we can have programs ready before your parts arrive.
Do you provide operator training?
We create programs that are well-structured and easy to maintain so your operators can modify them. We can provide handover training and documentation to ensure your team can work with the programs effectively.
