Producing the Global line of CMMs is a truly global undertaking for Hexagon Metrology^TM, the world's largest producer of coordinate measurement systems. Global machines are recognized around the world under the brand names Brown & Sharpe and DEA, and are locally produced and distributed through Hexagon factories around the world.

The Global line of CMMs brings superior measuring technology to a wide range of operating environments, from the lab to the shop-floor. The most critical environmental concern for metrology applications is temperature changes. When considering shop-floor deployment, special consideration must be given to temperature fluctuations, a major cause of measurement error. Global has options that solve this problem.

The range of standard Global configurations has been enhanced to include three new attractively priced packages. The Classic, Performance, and Advantage versions of the Global offer three different levels of popular standard features to suit most every application. Additional options are also available to customize your Global to precisely your requirements.

Brown & Sharpe is pleased to re-introduce the Global^® 5x5x5 size global machine in Classic and Performance packages, powered by PC-DMIS 4.0. The Global^® 5x5x5 is an extremely useful half-meter cube machine that fits many common parts, with 500mm of Z clearance to better fit a motorized head, such as the new low-profile TESASTAR-M.
