Machine model
The small half-gantry design combines aluminium construction, air bearings and state-of-the-art electronics with today’s most intelligent CMM software for outstanding performance.
- Aluminium alloy beam and spindle, micro-machined for additional precision
- Zero hysteresis friction drive on all axes for smooth motion control
- High accuracy 0.1 μm optical scale system
- Also available as manual version with the option to upgrade to CNC at a later date on-site.
