As the sole distributor for Trimos products in the UK, Bowers Group has introduced what it describes as the world’s first truly portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM), the Trimos C-Line. Both the C3 and C4 models weigh just 13.5kg, are battery operated and available with Bluetooth, allowing full portability. The C3 model is ideal for manual measurements whilst the C4 is fully CNC operated. A simple and intuitive icon-based touchscreen mounted on the machine provides ease of use, and optional Aberlink Software is available to assist with CAD programming and traditional CMM style reporting. UK sales director for Bowers Group, Martin Hawkins, says: “We are delighted to introduce the new Trimos C-Line CMM to the UK market. After the success of the recently introduced Trimos Portable Arm, the C-Line makes a great addition to new Trimos 3D product group. Being fully portable, you can take the C-Line CMM right to parts in the manufacturing process for inspection.” With a working volume of 700mm (X and Y) and 250mm (Z), its small footprint and high-performance 3D measurement is the ideal portable solution for any workshop operation. Delivered as standard with the ControlCAT software, the C-Line allows operators to perform a variety of measurements including; distance, circle, plane, line, and point. Trimos has been a leader in the field of dimensional metrology since 1972, guaranteeing ‘Swiss-made’ quality built into its products. Trimos offers a range of solutions that respond to dimensional measurement needs, combining high precision, innovation, advanced design and ease of use. As sole UK agent, Bowers can exclusively offer its customers the full range of Trimos height gauges, horizontal measuring instruments and surface analysis instruments, along with the new 3D product group which includes portable measuring arms and portable CMMs. Bowers Group www.bowersgroup.co.uk Ed Hill Author Ed Hill Deputy Editor Tags Bowers Group CMM Trimos Share This Article Tweet Share Share Share Subscribe to our FREE Newsletter Related Articles Bowers Group brands receive Made in Britain accreditation Bowers Group webinar: where metrology meets Industry 4.0 New training videos from Bowers Group Most recent Articles Manufacturers urged to have their say on life after Brexit Applications open for growth programme for UK manufacturing Whitehouse Machine Tools appoints sales and marketing director Share This Article Tweet Share Share Share Subscribe to our FREE Newsletter
