Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division recently announced the launch of the Manual Application Changer (MAC), a manual changer that enables users to quickly and easily replace fixed, indexable HP-S-X5 and HP-S-X5 HD measuring heads on bridge and gantry coordinate measuring machines (CMMs).
MAC is a cost-effective alternative to automatic measuring head changeover for CMM users who don't need to replace measuring heads on a regular basis. By providing simple switching between versatile indexable and high-precision fixed measuring heads, this straightforward manual solution enables manufacturers to achieve their productivity and flexibility objectives by adapting to varying application requirements.
"Many manufacturers face the common challenge of reducing costs while increasing flexibility to meet different customer needs.explains Marco Mussino, product manager. This means ensuring that CMM quality assurance teams have the right sensor and measuring head when they need it. But for some manufacturers, automatic measuring head changeover tools are not cost-effective enough for their intended operation. The MAC solution offers an alternative, guaranteeing flexible measurement at lower cost."
The MAC changer is available on compatible Global bridge CMMs, DEA Delta SLANT and DEA Alpha gantry CMMs. On request, it can also be retrofitted to other CMMs. The MAC solution is available worldwide.
