The Global® CMM's technology combines cutting edge mechanical innovations, state-of-the-art motion controllers, advanced temperature compensation models, and PC-DMIS, the world's most advanced and most popular metrology software, to create the perfect solution for today's ever-changing manufacturing environment.
Global coordinate measuring machines offer the most technologically advanced product line in 3D metrology available today. The Global platform is designed to deliver superior performance in all machine characteristics, including accuracy, speed, environment, reliability, and ease of use. Global products are also supported by Hexagon Metrology's global service and support network of metrology experts offering unmatched personalized assistance to our customers.
Global products provide accuracy, reliability, speed and affordability today, as well as future flexibility. Global has been designed to be adaptable to changes in technology, making it easy to integrate new sensors at a later time; helping your business stay competitive today and long into the future.
Producing the Global line of CMMs is a truly global undertaking for Hexagon MetrologyTM, 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 solves this problem.
The range of Global configurations includes three attractively priced packages. The Classic, Performance, and Advantage models of the Global product line 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.
Modern CMM Design Concepts: Building a Better CMM — Real-World Performance for Real-World Solutions
Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) are used in practically every industry that requires precise dimensional inspection of manufactured parts. In today’s competitive environment, manufacturers demand CMMs that are accurate, reliable, fast, economical, and provide maximum flexibility with respect to operating environment. In order to meet these often conflicting requirements and provide maximum value in the products delivered to their customers, CMM manufacturers must make informed design decisions, intelligent material choices, and employ novel techniques. The end result should be an affordable machine that is highly accurate, measures parts quickly, and is relatively insensitive to its environment. The key to achieving this goal is the careful management of the machine’s intrinsic error.
