Handheld Probe CMM



Keyence offers the XM Series handheld probe coordinate measuring machine (CMM). "Conventional CMMs require difficult installation, a controlled environment and dedicated programmers," said a company spokesperson. "The XM Series is easily installed in any environment and allows any operator to perform intuitive 3-D measurements with high accuracy. To overcome various challenges with conventional 3-D measurement, the advanced technologies of Keyence's optics, image processing and structural design have been utilized to develop the XM Series."

Features of the XM Series:

  • Simple operation: Perform high-precision measurements using an onscreen interactive visual guide and touch probe.
  • Installation in any location: "The XM can be implemented in any manufacturing environment due to its portability and robust design," said the spokesperson. Additionally, operation does not require any foundation or ancillary equipment, and the system's temperature and humidity operating ranges are 50-95 °F and 20-80% RH, respectively.
  • Easy programming: No previous CMM programming experience is needed to operate the XM. Simply select desired measurement parameters (elements, GD&T) and measure the target to complete programming. Augmented reality guidance images are created automatically, and measurement points with their 3-D elements are visually overlaid.
  • Sharing programs and automatic data management: Ensure consistent measurement regardless of operator, environment or other circumstances by sharing programmed work instructions and measurement parameters. All measurement results are automatically recorded and saved.
