CMM Solutions

PCS is proud to offer the following industry leading CMM solutions:

Mitutoyo CMM

Crysta-Apex C
SERIES 191 -- Standard CNC CMM

Engineered and constructed utilizing Mitutoyo’s innovative CNC CMM technology, Crysta-Apex features lightweight materials and a stable structure. The result is a design that provides high travel stability, high accuracy, and affordability. The temperature correction function 60.8˚F to 78.8˚F (16°C to 26°C) can yield accurate measurements even on the shop fl oor. In addition to the point-to-point measurement, the MPP-100 and a Laser Probe provide contact/non-contact scanning function.

LEGEX
SERIES 356 -- Ultra-high Accuracy CNC CMM

Achieving premium performance, the fixed bridge structure and precision air bearings resting on the rigid guideways ensure superior stability of motion and ultra-high measuring accuracy. It is suitable for complex small to medium size workpieces such as a gear, bearing, lens, die, or scroll rotor which require high dimensional accuracy. The MPP-300Q probe adds a scanning function to the standard point-to-point measurement.

Crysta-Plus M443 / 574 / 7106
SERIES 196 — Manual-Floating Type CMM

Manual floating type CMMs developed in quest for high-accuracy, low-cost and easy operation. The Crysta-Plus M is suitable to measure a wide range of applications from a simple dimension to complex form.

Brown and Sharpe Solution CMM

The Global® CMM's technology combines cutting edge mechanical innovations, state-of-the-art motion controllers, advanced temperature compensation models, and PC-DMIS, the world's most advanced and most popular metrology software, to create the perfect solution for today's ever-changing manufacturing environment. Global coordinate measuring machines offer the most technologically advanced product line in 3D metrology available today. The Global platform is designed to deliver superior performance in all machine characteristics, including accuracy, speed, environment, reliability, and ease of use. Global products are also supported by Hexagon Metrology's global service and support network of metrology experts offering unmatched personalized assistance to our customers. Global products provide accuracy, reliability, speed and affordability today, as well as future flexibility. Global has been designed to be adaptable to changes in technology, making it easy to integrate new sensors at a later time; helping your business stay competitive today and long into the future. Producing the Global line of CMMs is a truly global undertaking for Hexagon MetrologyTM, the world's largest producer of coordinate measurement systems. Global machines are recognized around the world under the brand names Brown & Sharpe and DEA, and are locally produced and distributed through Hexagon factories around the world. The Global line of CMMs brings superior measuring technology to a wide range of operating environments, from the lab to the shop-floor. The most critical environmental concern for metrology applications is temperature changes. When considering shop-floor deployment, special consideration must be given to temperature fluctuations, a major cause of measurement error. Global solves this problem. The range of Global configurations includes three attractively priced packages. The Classic, Performance, and Advantage models of the Global product line offer three different levels of popular standard features to suit most every application. Additional options are also available to customize your Global to precisely your requirements.

Global Classic
Ideal as a first CMM, for multiple-unit deployments, or as a cost-effective way to add extra automated inspection capacity to your quality program.

Global Performance
The best solution for high tolerance parts and more sophisticated measurement tasks that require the assistance of CAD models.

Global Advantage
A flexible gauging system that can handle any measurement and inspection task quickly and efficiently.

Global eXtra
Designed to meet the dimensional inspection requirements of sheet metal, plastic, glass, and similarly dimensioned components within shop floor environments.

MicroHite 3D Reflex
Competitively priced three-axis measuring system with integrated touchscreen Reflex software computer system is designed to fit any shop budget, and offers sophisticated measurement and inspection capability for any type of manufacturing operation.

MicroHite 3D PC-DMIS
Highly suited as a stand-alone, walk-up station for first part inspection, facilitates setup for layout inspection and reduces tool setup. Equipped with the optional PC-DMIS CAD upgrade, it can handle most reverse engineering tasks.

MicroHite DCC
Competitively priced, high speed, high accuracy, entry level automated measuring machine that can handle virtually any measurement and inspection application.

ONE
A precision measurement instrument designed and manufactured to withstand harsh shop floor environments.

PMM-C
The standard by which all other Ultra High Accuracy CMMs are judged.  Ultra stiff and ultra accurate.  Excellent for checking gears too.

CMM 101: Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) are used in practically every industry that requires precise dimensional inspection of manufactured parts. In today’s competitive environment, manufacturers demand CMMs that are accurate, reliable, fast, economical, and provide maximum flexibility with respect to operating environment. In order to meet these often conflicting requirements and provide maximum value in the products delivered to their customers, CMM manufacturers must make informed design decisions, intelligent material choices, and employ novel techniques. The end result should be an affordable machine that is highly accurate, measures parts quickly, and is relatively insensitive to its environment.
