CNC Coordinate Measuring Machine



Mitutoyo America Corporation has released the LEGEX ultra-high accuracy CNC coordinate measuring machine (CMM). The LEGEX 4 is designed for accuracy in length measurement of E0,MPE = (0.28+L/1,000) um.

"With the unceasing advancement of scientific and industrial technologies and driving demand for significant improvements in high-accuracy manufacturing, Mitutoyo took a fresh approach when it came to accuracy, starting from the elemental technology level and working upward, with the aim of eliminating all possible sources of measurement error," said a company spokesperson.

Key Features:

  • Sources of static and dynamic error minimized for measurement accuracy of 0.28 um
  • Fixed-bridge structure with moving table
  • Base is made from spheroidal graphite (ductile) cast iron in a sealed-structure design to provide high rigidity and vibration-attenuating characteristics
  • High-rigidity structure and feed mechanisms increase accuracy and improve cycle times
  • Thermally symmetric structure features full covers around the main body to reduce possible impact in ambient temperature changes
  • Vibration-dampening unit is standard
  • An air server stabilizes the air temperature to 20 °C +/-0.1 °C.
