Taking measurement to the extreme

Aberlink will be launching a new CNC CMM at MACH 2016 – the Xtreme

.

Designed with a novel non-Cartesian structure and utilising linear motors and mechanical bearings, the Xtreme’s advantageous configuration ensures that it maintains its accuracy at very fast measurement rates and does not suffer from the accumulative inaccuracies that occur in conventional 3-axis Cartesian arrangements.

As its name implies, the Xtreme offers customers a robust solution for undertaking precise inspection routines wherever they are required. However, Aberlink claims it is the cost- effective price of the Xtreme that will have a significant effect on the market.

Also making a MACH debut will be the latest iteration of Aberlink’s popular inspection software. In addition to touch-trigger probing and vision measurement, Aberlink 3D CNC Inspection software now enables the accurate, rapid scanning of features and profiles. The Mk IV software version delivers enhanced functionality and features an improved CAD Comparison module and a user-friendly ‘off-line Programming from CAD’ software module.

To help illustrate the impressive scanning capabilities, made possible as a result of Aberlink’s new MkIV software, the Zenith 3 CMM will be demonstrated fitted with a PH10M motorised indexing head and SP25M scanning probe. The Zenith Too CMM has recently undergone several improvements and design innovations based on the larger Azimuth CMM range. The new Zenith 3 offers improved accuracy and faster travel due to the increased stiffness of the X-axis bridge design.

Aberlink staff will also be demonstrating what the company is calling ‘the ultimate answer to inspection bottlenecks’. The recently launched Axiom Too HS CMM is the high specification variant of Aberlink’s best-selling Axiom Too. In addition to an enhanced accuracy specification, the impressive speed of the HS variant enables it to perform a high number of inspection tasks in a fraction of the time normally taken.

Aberlink’s Axiom Too CMMs will be fitted with PH20 head touch probing systems and PH6M-SP25M scanning probe systems, in addition to advanced interchangeable cameras and collimated light systems. Available in both manual and CNC variants, the Axiom Too range is capable of providing consistent, precise results within inspection departments or on the shopfloor.
