Aberlink introduces new-generation Axiom CMM

Aberlink has unveiled the third generation of its Axiom co-ordinate measuring machine (CMM), marking the latest development in a series that began in 1995. The original Axiom was noted for making fully error-mapped CMM technology more accessible. The Axiom Too followed in 2004, becoming Aberlink’s most widely used model.

This latest version integrates updated technology with the company’s long-standing design principles. Enhancements include a redesigned right-hand-side bridge assembly for greater stiffness, a 25% increase in measurement speed, and improved resistance to dirt through upgraded linear encoders. Its updated appearance also aligns it with other recent models in the range.

Aberlink continues to manufacture and develop its systems in-house at its Gloucestershire facility. The new Axiom is priced over £3,000 less than the outgoing high-specification Axiom Too HS model, despite offering similar performance.

The machine is supported by Aberlink’s proprietary 3D measurement software, which includes free updates and technical support. According to the company, the latest Axiom balances value, reliability and performance for modern precision manufacturing needs.
