Compact 3D performer

Specifically for shopfloor use, Hexagon Metrology has launched the Tigo SF – an accurate and compact 3D CMM.

Tigo SF is an ideal measurement solution for a wide range of accurate, small and medium size parts from all industrial sectors. With a measuring volume of 500mm x 580mm x 500mm (X, Y, Z) the machine features a volumetric accuracy which according to Hexagon makes it the most precise shopfloor CMM in its category.

Several features ensure that measurements are highly accurate even in the demanding conditions of the shopfloor environment. Enhanced structural thermal compensation allows measurements in a temperature range from 15 to 30°C and passive dampers protect the machine from vibration. For extra protection, active dampers are available.

Additionally, the machine is fully equipped with covers and bellows to prevent contamination of the moving parts; the machine stand that houses the electronic equipment is also available in an IP54 certified version. Since Tigo SF is compact and compressed air is not required, it can be placed seamlessly in production cells or in any area of the workshop.

The machine comes standard with the high accuracy LSP-X1c probe sensor to support scanning and point to point measurements. Alternatively, Tigo SF can be equipped with the indexable Tesastar-m probe head, reaching over 3,000 different positions to allow measurement of features in any orientation on the workpiece without using complex star styli configurations or rotary tables.
