Home Products Coordinate Measuring Machines Ultra High Accuracy Reference

Global Reference Xi

Reference XiGear and Coordinate Measuring Machines for precise, fast and versatile inspection.

The Brown & Sharpe Global Reference series of fast and precise 3D Coordinate Measuring Machines is designed for the inspection of basic geometries, (i.e. cylinder heads, engine blocks, gear boxes etc.) as well as special geometries, such as gears, pistons, worms, screw compressors and many more. Strong Powertrain solution.

Brown & Sharpe Global Reference series are multi-purpose machines capable of serving as gear measuring machines. Fast and precise inspection of any type of gears up to 1100mm in diameter.

Form inspection is fast and easy using Leitz 3D probe technology, integrated with High-Speed-Scanning capability for rapid collection of large point numbers.
