Brown & Sharpe Global CMM

NEW CMM PACKAGES OFFER AFFORDABLE AND VERSATILE MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

High speed, high performance coordinate measuring machines from Brown & Sharpe offer form, dimension and position measurement capability. These versatile CMMs can be equipped with a variety of data gathering sensors, including industry standard touch trigger and analog scanning probes, laser scanners, white light sensors, and vision probes.  TESASTAR touch trigger probes offer a cost effective alternative to traditional touch trigger probes. The X Series Leitz scanning probes (LSP) have been specifically designed to meet today's requirements for high-precision and high-throughout coordinate measuring machines.

The GLOBAL series remains our most popular CMM. A range of standard GLOBAL configurations has been enhanced to include three new attractively priced packages.  They feature a proven design with fewer parts than traditional CMMs for improved reliability and reduced maintenance. Global CMMs offer flexibility by being able to be easily upgraded in the future, keeping stride with the latest in technology trends.

Motorized CMM Probe Head
Hexagon Metrology's TesaStar M motorized probe head for CMMs is shank-mounted and capable of indexing in 5-degree increments, +180 degrees to -180 degrees in revolution and +90 to -115 degrees in pitch. This translates to a total of 2,952 possible positions, including a "table-hugging" 90-degree horizontal position. The head also features high speed indexing with faster index changes than similar products.

Five-Directional CMM Touch Probes
The TesaStar P five-directional sensing CMM touch probes are available in four versions with different triggering forces. The probes are M8 threaded for use with a variety of probe heads, including the TesaStar M motorized probe head. The probes also use standard M2 styli also available in kits.

Scanning Speeds Simplify Complex Part Inspection
Find out how a producer of precision turned parts found an inspection process that could check numerous features simultaneously and provide results quickly.

Measuring System For Precision Parts
The Tesavio non-contact video measuring system combines a high-definition CCD camera with Tesatouch software for precision measurement of complex parts. These measuring machines offer 20 × to 135 × standard magnification with available 40 × to 270 × and an optional 2 × auxiliary lens. A high-resolution image of the part feature is projected on a 15" VGA flat LCD touchscreen.

Round Part Measurement
This brochure on the Profile 50 goes into great detail on options available for round part measurement. Some of the measurement functions include diameters, lengths, angles, radii, intersection points, form deviation, runout, concentricity, and more. .
