Simon Walsh

My name is Simon Walsh, and I specialize in coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and dimensional metrology. With a strong foundation in mechanical engineering and precision measurement, I have dedicated my career to the application and optimization of CMM technology in manufacturing environments where accuracy and quality are paramount.

I have hands-on experience with a variety of CMM systems, including contact and non-contact measurement technologies, and have worked extensively on tasks involving geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), CAD model integration, and automated inspection processes. My work supports industries such as automotive, aerospace, and precision machining, where tight tolerances and repeatability are essential.

I am passionate about advancing the role of metrology in modern manufacturing by integrating CMM systems with Industry 4.0 principles, including real-time data analytics, process control feedback loops, and AI-driven quality insights. Through my expertise, I aim to ensure that every component measured meets the highest standards of precision and performance.

Key features demonstrated:

  1. Error compensation system for thermal drift, ABBE error, and geometric errors

  2. Measurement data collection with timestamping

  3. Basic report generation with statistical analysis

  4. Coordinate system management

  5. Precision control through accuracy parameter

This code provides a foundational structure that can be extended with:

  • Actual hardware communication protocols

  • Advanced compensation algorithms

  • Compliance with ISO 10360 standards

  • Data visualization modules

  • Network integration capabilities
