The Strato-Apex574 coordinate measuring machine (CMM) offers a compact footprint while still delivering the same blend of high-speed operation and highly accurate measurement as other CMMs in the Strato-Apex line. Model 574 is a compact bridge-type design featuring accuracy as low as 0.70µm, with a 0.05µm resolution scale and temperature range of 18°C to 22°C (64.4°F to 71.6°F). This CMM is designed for manufacturers that produce high-precision small parts for industries that require a smaller footprint for CMM inspection.
The Strato-Apex line offers high speed and accuracy in measurement that is ensured by a specially designed machine body that has improved rigidity of the structure, a precision guide mechanism, ultra-high precision crystallized glass scales with near-zero thermal expansion and the incorporation of newly developed compensation technology. A standard vibration-dampening unit is included as a standard accessory to round out this CMM’s advanced capabilities. The Strato-Apex line features dual joysticks, air balanced Z-axis ram, precision air bearings on all axes, a USB, fully digital DC 32 bit Mitutoyo CNC CMM digital signal processor controller with a PH10MQ quill mounted probe head featuring internal wiring. A wide range of inspections solutions including scanning probe, non-contact laser scanning, video, and surface roughness inspection can be added to ensure versatility for almost any inspection need.
