Hexagon’s TIGO SF CMM features integration options

Hexagon Metrology’s latest version TIGO SF shopfloor CMM enables easy integration into fully-automated in-line or near-the-line inspection cells, or as part of a complete production/inspection set-up.

The optional I/O kit allows the CMM to interface directly with automated lines and exchange data with PLCs, while measurement data can be used to inform process improvements, as part of a wider PLM system.

With a 500 by 580 by 500 mm measurement volume and shopfloor-specific features, the structure of the machine is open on three sides for accessibility, making it suitable for use with robots or automatic workpiece recognition systems.

The compressed air-free TIGO SF is protected from contaminants by covers and bellows, and features thermal compensation and passive damping systems as standard. Active damping can be added to enable installation near machining centres or part-transit areas.
