Oil, moisture and particulate matter can prove to be extremely harmful to the air bearings on Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM). This contamination often results in drag or resistance in the air bearings and leads to hysteresis. Moisture and oil in the air may also cause condensation and rust, leading to poor machine performance and inaccurate measurements. Costly maintenance repairs and production downtime can be avoided with a proper CMM air dryer.
Dave,
You are certainly the expert.
