 | Why retrofit?- Increased throughput
- Greater software functionality & usability
- Automation & lower operating costs
- Supported, open CMM controller
- Future-proof investment
Give your CMM a new lease of life!
Most CMM structures are not subject to high levels of wear and so remain serviceable for many years. Software, control systems and sensors however can become outdated as new, faster and more capable ones are introduced. Increased measurement capability| Features | Operational benefits |
|---|
- Form - scanning vs. discrete points
- Complex profiles - 'scan on curve' vs. multiple scans
- Surface finish - controlled, CNC process (available in 2009)
| - Better control of functional fits
- Simpler data analysis
- Increased consistency
- Shorter lead times
|
Greater software functionality and usability| Features | Operational benefits |
|---|
- CAD-driven programming
- Comprehensive, exact DMIS compliance
- High-volume data analysis
- Graphical reporting
- Support for latest sensors
| - Faster programming
- Future proof
- 'Production mode' operation for faster program execution
|
Faster throughput| Features | Operational benefits |
|---|
- 5-axis scanning - faster scanning speeds; less time spent indexing / sensor changing, more time spent measuring
- UCC2 controller - optimised motion control
| - Eliminate bottlenecks
- Faster process feedback
- Free up CMM capacity to take on other measurement tasks
|
More automation| Features | Operational benefits |
|---|
- Automated stylus changing
- Flexible feature access to avoid reorientation of parts
- Multi-sensor inspection on one CMM platform
