Compact Footprint CMM



Mitutoyo America Corporation announced the addition of the STRATO-Apex574 Coordinate Measuring Machine to its STRATO-Apex line of CMMs. This new configuration offers a more compact footprint while still offering the same state-of-the-art blend of high-speed operation and highly accurate measurement. The STRATO-Apex574 is a compact bridge-type design featuring accuracy as low as 0.7um. It utilizes a 0.05um resolution scale and temperature range of 18 to 22 °C (64.4 to 71.6 °F). This CMM is suited for manufacturers who produce high precision small parts for industries such a medical, precision mold and aerospace that require a smaller footprint for CMM inspection.

"The STRATO-Apex line offers high speed and accuracy in measurement that is ensured by a specially designed machine body that has improved rigidity of the structure, a precision guide mechanism, ultra-high precision crystallized glass scales with near-zero thermal expansion and the incorporation of newly developed compensation technology," said a company spokesperson.

A standard vibration-dampening unit is included as a standard accessory to round out this CMMs advanced capabilities. The STRATO-Apex line features dual joysticks, air balanced Z-axis ram, precision air bearings on all axes, a USB, fully digital DC 32 bit Mitutoyo CNC CMM Digital Signal Processor controller with a PH10MQ quill mounted probe head featuring internal wiring. A wide range of inspections solutions including scanning probe, non-contact laser scanning, video and surface roughness inspection can be added for versatility.
