Coordinate Measuring Machine
Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence
The Leitz Reference BX coordinate measuring machine (CMM) from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence AB is designed for blade and glass manufacturers.
The system accurately captures detailed measurement data across the entire surface of a freeform shape while dramatically reducing cycle time. The CMM's optical white light sensor performs well on matte and reflective surfaces such as glass and polished metal. Its fixed scan probe maintains the high precision needed for critical alignment on the root of turbine and fan blades while also measuring inclined fir tree or dovetail root surfaces, which are not easily accessed by an optical sensor.
Its integrated rotary table and sensor exchange interface help to reduce cycle time even further by providing accessibility to a part's surfaces without moving the part and reducing inspection delays caused by manually exchanging sensors.
