Available with automated Renishaw touch or scanning probe heads, bridge-type Ares XL CMM consists of rigid alloy platform with silicon carbide Z axis column and integral dovetail X-axis machined directly into granite plate. Bridge beam is FEA designed alloy extrusion; rigid air bearings are applied on all axes; and 0.1 µm resolution measuring scales, using dynamic signal processing, provide sub-divisional error of better than ±30 nm. XYZ measuring range is 27.5 x 25.5 x 25.5 in.
