Calibration Tools FAQ | Ball Plate & Ceramic Sphere Guide
Frequently Asked Questions about 3D Scanning Calibration & Ceramic Reference Spheres
Ceramic reference ball are widely used for calibration and accuracy verification in 3D scanning systems, coordinate measuring machines (CMM), laser trackers, and optical metrology equipment. They provide a stable geometric reference to ensure precise and repeatable measurement results.
Ceramic spheres offer superior hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability compared to metal spheres. This makes them ideal for high-precision metrology applications where long-term dimensional stability and minimal deformation are critical.
Coreballtech provides high-precision calibration ball manufactured to tight tolerances. Accuracy levels can be customized based on application requirements, ensuring reliable performance for demanding metrology and inspection tasks.
We offer both matte and mirror surface finishes. Matte surfaces are suitable for optical scanning systems to reduce reflections, while mirror finishes are ideal for contact measurement applications such as CMM.
Yes, Coreballtech supports customized solutions including different sphere sizes, sphere bars, mounting options, and material configurations to meet specific customer requirements in 3D measurement and calibration applications.
