Large CMMs bring laboratory-grade metrology to the factory floor

LK Metrology has launched eight large-format Altera SF (Shop Floor) co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs), which the company says deliver lab-grade accuracy to the factory floor.

Designed for in-line inspection of bulky components, the machines offer rapid feedback, reduced scrap and tighter process control. With their temperature compensation, anti-vibration systems and glass-ceramic scales, LK reports the Altera SF CMMs ensure high precision even in uncontrolled environments. Integrated software and automation readiness further boost efficiency.
