The Leitz PMM-F coordinate measuring machine available from Brown & Sharpe is described in a new 12-page brochure. The PMM-F CMM provides high speed, laboratory measuring precision for shop floor inspection applications. It is designed as an enclosed gantry machine, making it easily adaptable to manual and automatic work handling systems for in-process inspection operations. Active dampening elements prevent shop floor vibrations from affecting measuring results. Servo drives with recirculating ball screws allow high acceleration for improved inspection throughout without loss of positioning precision.
The PMM-F CMM is equipped with a patented volumetric 3D probe system that provides single point measurement and high speed scanning for form and profile measurements. It is available in two models, the 700 with a measuring range of 1200 X 1000 X 700 mm (47.24 X 39.37 X 27.55 in.) and the 1000 with a measuring range of 3000 X 2000 X 1000 mm (118.11 X 78.74 X 39.37 in.). The PMM-F CMM can be equipped with either QUINDOSÆ or PC-DMIS(tm) measurement and inspection software.
