    Why automated cells are moving inspection equipment onto the shop floor

    As automated cells take on more machining tasks, more manufacturers are moving coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) next to production lines so parts are inspected within minutes of machining. International Federation of Robotics data show that global industrial robot installations reached 542,000 units in 2024, more than double the level a decade earlier, with about 4.66 million units in operation worldwide.
