Are You Satisfied with Your Current Coordinate Measuring Machine?

　 -CNC Coordinate Measuring Machine　 CRYSTA-Apex V Series

As the number of evaluation items based on geometric tolerances has grown to enhance quality control, many drawings now assume measurement with Coordinate Measuring Machines. Are you facing any of these challenges?

Here are some of the solutions that can be solved with our Crysta-Apex V Series.

Measurement Challenges:

• Using multiple measuring instruments increases the time needed to rearrange the inspection processes.

• Part programing is difficult, which leads to a limited number people who can do it.

• Entrusting more workers who are not familiar with machining, but there are concerns that the measuring instrument will be damaged from novice mistakes.
  

• Fixing the measuring object is difficult, and the number of people who can do it is limited.

Complete all Inspection Items on a Drawing with the Crysta-Apex V Series! Reducing the Time to Change Setups in the Inspection Process

Is changing inspection setups taking too long because of geometric tolerances required on your drawings?

Coordinate Measuring Machines are highly versatile, and with standard contact probes, they can cover nearly all the inspection items specified in the drawing—except for roughness.

By utilizing a CMM, you can significantly reduce both the time needed to adjust your inspection setup and the effort required to prepare working standards.

The Crysta-Apex V Series can handle all the inspection items specified in the drawing, by greatly reducing the time required for setting up the inspection process.

Standardize Your Programming with an Intuitive Measurement Menu

Do you find part programming challenging, leaving very few people who can evaluate prototypes or perform inspections? 

With our new Crysta-Apex V Series, the simple measurement menu lets you measure like you are using a standard measuring tool.
 
It strongly supports standardization of measurements regardless of who uses it.

Even when Measuring a Wide Variety of Parts, You can Eliminate Errors and Reduce the Burden on Your Measurement Team

In-process and pre-shipment inspections for multiple product types, makes finding the correct part programing from photos and models challenging—and limits the number of workers who can make unbiased measurements.

By scanning a QR code, the correct measurement program is automatically executed. This eliminates the risk of selecting the wrong program and enables you to assign measurement tasks to workers who may not be familiar with CMMs.

Using CAD Models to Measure Objects

Are you finding it challenging to measure small-lot workpieces with increasing complexity?

By simulating the block-type jig with CAD data, our software provides clear instructions for selecting and assembling the appropriate fixture.

Operators simply follow the simulation results to assemble the block-type jig, enabling anyone to easily prepare for measurement.

Anyone can easily complete the pre-measurement setup by following the provided instructions.
