Cubings represent measurement devices with a precise milled surrounding simulation of the part or assembly to be controlled. The part orientation is usually the same as in the real vehicle. The parts are inspected mainly visually and functionally. Cubings, however, can be equipped with any measuring instruments like general checking fixtures.
The structural components are usually movable to allow a CMM part measurement as well. The main base is steel welded, with an aluminium casting or aluminium mounted structure. Shaped segments are made from aluminium as well.
