Muscarella says: "We are delighted to complete our first year so successfully, during which we made a profit despite the expense necessarily incurred in transferring ownership of the company, which included opening a new office in Shanghai. We’ve already launched a packaged version of our Altera CMM with Renishaw Revo-2 probe, which is called the SCANtek 5. In addition, at the Control exhibition we previewed another newly developed product, the AlteraC 10.7.5, which is the first of three sizes planned.
"The AlteraC 10.7.5 will be supplied with our CAMIO programming, analysis and reporting software, plus Renishaw indexing head and touch probe, which can be exchanged for a laser scanner,” he continues. “The machine lowers the price of entry to LK CMM multi-sensor inspection technology and will be launched officially later this year."
In 2018, LK celebrated its 55th anniversary in the metrology industry. LK is the longest established CMM manufacturer and its name is linked to numerous innovations, such as the ceramic bridge design, air bearing and granite guideways for stability and stiffness, carbon-fibre composite spindles, and horizontal-spindle co-ordinate measuring. The company also worked in partnership with Rolls-Royce to develop Renishaw’s first touch-trigger probe for use on a CMM.
