* Speed Control - new-generation CNC technology that generated up to 30% increases in measurement speed.
* 3-C Direct View optic concept for non-contact measurement - using three fixed CCD cameras for back light, front light and top light (though the newest machine in the family, the Helicheck Plus, has four cameras).
