Introducing three major 3D measuring instruments from Coord3, highlighting their unique features, and a company profile that showcases its distinctive attributes.
The Ares is a bridge-type CMM designed for small to medium-sized parts, featuring an ultra-rigid alloy frame and pneumatically supported upright for high precision. It utilizes advanced technology with 0.1-micron resolution scales and supports both tactile and laser probes via TouchDMIS software. Available in manual or CNC configurations, it offers excellent cost-performance and consistent reliability. Operating optimally within an 18-22°C (64-72°F) temperature range, it includes a passive vibration damping system, making it ideal for automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries.
The MCT Plus is a gantry-type CMM designed for large components, featuring a "Dual Drive" and "Dual Read" system to minimize deformation. It boasts stabilized steel X-beams and high-resolution 0.1µm linear transducers. The system includes a pinion/rack drive for X and Y axes for efficient movement of main axes and multi-sensor thermal expansion error compensation due to thermal expansion of structural components. Operating optimally within an 18-22°C (64-72°F) temperature range, this CMM is ideal for marine, aerospace, nuclear, and wind turbine industries.
The Swan SI is a horizontal arm CMM featuring a lightweight aluminum mobile carriage, dual mechanical guides, and optical linear transducers. It includes DC servo motors and air bearings on X and Z axes, with precision guidance on the Y-axis to ensure high performance and precision. Designed for measuring thin-walled components, it operates best at 20 ± 2°C (68 ± 3.6°F) and handles vibrations up to 50 mm/sec², making it ideal for automotive applications.
