Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence announces the launch of the all-new Global S coordinate measuring machine (CMM) models, customizable to suit specific inspections and varying production objectives. The new CMM platform offers four capability packages focused on customers' productivity drivers: throughput, accuracy, versatility and shop floor. Based on the Enhanced Productivity Series (EPS) from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, the Global S series uses intelligent technologies and sensor configurations from Hexagon to streamline the creation, execution and analysis of measurement routines. The EPS concept offers users a choice of software and sensors tailored to their specific applications, as well as options such as the Compass vibration reduction system, which improves scanning efficiency and performance, the Pulse environmental monitoring tool, and indicator lights making measurement conditions highly visible. The new capabilities of the Global S series are integrated into the modern design by Pininfarina, a world-renowned design company.
The Global S series performance package is ideal for mass-production manufacturers who need short measurement times to increase production volumes. The precision pack is for users who need reliable measurement of parts with tight tolerances and complex geometries. The versatility pack is a flexible solution for manufacturers measuring a wide variety of components with different surface types and characteristics. The workshop pack, meanwhile, will appeal to customers who need to integrate measurement into the workshop, thus optimizing production processes. This fourth pack also supports fully automatic measurement on the shop floor.
In addition, the Global S series offers three levels of productivity. green, blue and chrome - to meet all application and budgetary requirements.
" Today's manufacturers face unique and varying production challenges, from increased yields to higher quality parts. The new Global S Series reflects the demand for customizable, focused CMMs that take into account each manufacturer's productivity drivers and evolve with measurement and inspection requirements. The Global S Series offers the flexibility to adapt to changing applications, while optimizing the user's ability to obtain actionable quality information throughout the manufacturing process. "explains Ingo Lindner, General Manager of the Bridge CMM line at Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence.
Global S coordinate measuring machines are equipped with PC-DMIS or Quindos software. Other options include statistical process analysis (SPC) software, as well as the HxGN SMART Quality data and resource management system.
GLOBAL S CMMs are available worldwide from today. The Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence distribution network can provide further information on these products.
