CMM Series for Specific Objectives

March 15, 2018
Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence offers a line of CMM's that can scan the most complex unknown profiles at high speeds.

The latest evolution of the GLOBAL S CMM series are customizable for specific inspection work and changing manufacturing objectives. The CMM platform features four capability packages focused on customer productivity drivers: Throughput, Precision, Multi-Purpose, and Shop-Floor. In addition, the GLOBAL S line offers three productivity levels – Green, Blue, and Chrome – to suit any application and budget requirements.

 

Built on Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence’s Enhanced Productivity Series concept, the GLOBAL S utilizes Hexagon’s smart technologies and sensor configurations to streamline the creation, execution, and analysis of measurement routines. The EPS concept presents users with software and probe choices catering to their unique applications, as well as machine options such as the vibration-reduction system Compass, which enhances machine scanning throughput and performance, the PULSE environmental monitoring tool and machine messaging lights for highly visible notifications. The GLOBAL S’s next-generation capabilities are conveyed in the machine’s modern design by Pininfarina, a renowned international design firm.

 

The GLOBAL S Throughput capability package benefits mass production manufacturers that require reduced measuring cycle times to increase production volume. The Precision capability package caters to users who need confidence when measuring parts with tight tolerances and complex geometries. The Multi-Purpose capability package is a flexible solution for manufacturers measuring a variety of materials with different features and surface characteristics. Shop-Floor, the fourth GLOBAL S capability package, offers a solution for customers who need to integrate measurements on the production floor, enabling process optimization. This package can also support fully-automated shop-floor measurement.

 

GLOBAL S comes equipped with PC-DMIS or QUINDOS measuring software depending on the choice of capability package. Other options include Q-DAS statistical process analysis (SPC) software and the HxGN SMART Quality data and resource management system.
