Alpha is an innovative product line of cost-effective and multi-sensor gantry CMMs. These medium-capacity machines, feature high throughput and high accuracy thus increasing reliability and minimizing maintenance. Available in two configurations, Alpha Status and Alpha Image.
Alpha Status is an all-purpose flexible CMM perfect for dimensional inspection of large castings and machined parts. Equipped with a 3D scanning laser head and continuous servo wrist to achieve high-productivity and throughput. Speedy collection of millions of data points from the most complex contoured shapes makes it an ideal system for die and mold manufacturing support.
All Alpha models can be supplied with optional bellows and covers, increasing machine protection from airborne shop contaminants.
