Next to touch trigger and continuous contact scanning, Metris CMMs fully support non-contact laser scanning with plug-and-play operation of Metris' innovative line and cross scanners.
Other optional equipment includes fully automated stylus and probe changers, motorized indexing or rotary table, pneumatic anti-vibration mounts, and temperature compensation.
All Metris CMMs come with Metris MCC200 controller and Metris CAMIO Studio software as standard.
The CAMIO Studio metrology software spans the entire process, as it integrates scanning, inspection, analysis and reporting.
It continues the tradition of innovation, as it supports on-line and off-line programming as well as multi-sensor programming and simulation.
As a result of the Coord3 acquisition, Metris also successfully strengthened its worldwide support network, by increasing its overall size and extending geographical presence.
