1.0 INTRODUCTION
From this task we are able to perform dimensional measurements such as
angle, radius, and distance measurements, the contour tolerancing function
for evaluating "form" and the report creation function for outputting
measurement results in a specific format are provided as standard,
measuring both ease of operation and powerful analysis capabilities.
Contour measurement using a contracer machine (Mitutoyo CV – 3100) is
a powerful system for automatic high-volume measurement. Event with
greater precision in all axis for difficult stationary contour testing in
production environment or in the test room.

2.0 HISTORY

3.0 OBJECTIVES
This practical task will be applied when to measure contour of part. It will be
used to interpret our knowledge and understanding of the theories and
techniques discussed within the topics into our practical application. At this
end of this practical task, we are able to identify the method used to
measure contour of part and we also able to demonstrate the operation of
the ‘contracer’.

6.0 Methodology
a. Switch ON Computer and Machine power supply
b. Clamp the specimen to vices
c. Click to “FORMPARK contour” software
d. Create New File for new measurement
e. Align the stylus to the specimen. Make sure the stylus in middle position
of Stylus Arm.
f. Set the length of measurement ( up to 50mm). then click button X0, Z0
at left hand side column bar.
g. When ready, press Start button and wait the stylus reading the contour.
h. After the machine complete reading contour, make the measurement
for the drawing.
i. Create line measurement: Line, tangent line, perpendicular, parallel
line.
j. Create circle measurement: Circle (multi-points, range, center and
radius)
k. Create position, difference: Coordinate difference, true position
judgment
l. Create distance, angle: Distance, groove length, step, pitch, distance
reference, angle
m. From this software we also can calculation, statistics: Arithmetic
calculation, absolute value, square root, maximum value, minimum
value, mean, sum, standard deviation, unbiased standard deviation,
area.
n. Editing of measured points: Deletion, translation, rotation, mirror image,
o. positioning, combination, separation, projection
p. Sub-part program: Calculation procedure can be registered as a Sub-
part program. The Sub-part program can be integrated into a part
program facilitating measurement of batch of speciment
q. After complete the measurement, measured data and analysis
procedure can be saved in the hard disk or we can print out the result.
This function allows an original result report to be created and printed
out.

8.0 Discussion
From this task, we can see that Contour measurement is very helpful in
precision measurement. Contour measurement can give accurate
measurement even in small dimension to the largest part.

9.0 Suggestion
• Increase the value measurement of X-axis up to 100mm

• Enlarge the work table (vice clamp) for larger specimen.

10.0 Conclusion
At the last of this task, we are able to know which machine is suitable
to use measure the correct parts. From what we learn we know that
Contracer Motutoyo CV-3100 are using to measure dimension of
small parts, and from this task also, we also know the limitation of this
contour measurement machine.
