Coordinate Measuring Machines

ZEISS has launched the ZEISS MMZ 1 table CMM, designed specifically for large workpieces and applications that require highly accurate contact measurements. This machine excels in evaluating size, form, and location measurements with exceptional precision. Equipped with the ZEISS VAST XT gold probe head mounted on a silicon carbide ram, the ZEISS MMZ 1 offers enhanced temperature stability.

Oberon Performance needed a way to accurately measure and re-engineer the original OEM part and the mating part on the bike. Steve Evans, technical director explains: “Before the Aberlink Fulcrum, we used a combination of verniers, micrometers, height gauges, a 3D scanner and good old engineering skill to reproduce the parts.

CMM manufacturer LK Metrology has announced the release of the latest version of its measurement, programming, simulation, analysis and reporting software. CAMIO 2024 features upgraded performance in several key areas to increase productivity and enhance safety, in the quality control department and shorten the lead-time from component production to completion of inspection.

There are growing demands within the global manufacturing industry to increase productivity and efficiency levels at faster paces. As a result of this, metrologists are starting to find out that using Coordinating Measuring Machines (CMMs) that only operate using 3-axis machining technologies is not enough anymore.

Flexxbotics, delivering workcell digitalization for robot-driven manufacturing, has announced advanced robotic machine tending in-line inspection connectivity compatible with the full line-up of Hexagon inspection equipment.

Like its predecessor, it is designed for the complete inspection of all types of gears as large as 175 mm in diameter and shaft-type gears up to 480 mm in length, maximum measurable tooth width of 340 mm, with a module range of 0.4 (optionally 0.15) to 6.35 mm. With this update, the measuring range of the 175GMS nano in the lower module range as well as in the capacity for shaft length and tooth width has been significantly extended.

Aberlink has launched the Halo CNC CMM as a lower cost alternative to its high performance Horizon CMM series. Halo is a belt-drive version of the state-of-the art linear drive Horizon CMM.
