For the first time, a CMM manufacturer is offering a rental program for brand new CMMs with no long term purchase commitment. Xspect Solutions, Inc. has introduced a new rental program for new USA-produced Wenzel X-Orbit CMMs. A rental program for CMMs is a first for a U.S.-based CMM manufacturer, according to Keith Mills, president of Xspect Solutions.
As program schedules and quantities for parts suppliers shrink, the need for quality remains high. However, the ability to justify new capital equipment in support of these smaller programs has been reduced.
For that reason, Xspect Solutions created the new Rent2Measure CMM rental program that allows manufacturers to have a new Wenzel X-Orbit 8.10.7 (800mm x 1,000mm x 700mm) with a Renishaw PH10T/TP20 probe on their shop floor six to 36 months, depending on the need.
Additional features for the CMM include a complete suite of OpenDMIS software, a MCR20 styli change rack, installation and CMM calibration program as well as three days of operator training for two operators.
Also, Xspect provides the CMM XtraCare package, which covers all breakdowns, OpenDMIS software upgrades as released, on-site Dell PC warranty, Renishaw probing warranty and help-desk applications and software support up to the maximum rental period of 36 months.
Mills adds, "We do offer the user the ability to apply 65% of the rental payments to offset the purchase price of the CMM at any time during the term of the rental. The Rent2Measure program is available on any size CMM from the Wenzel X-Orbit range.
