Axiom too HS... better again.

Since 2004 the Axiom too CMM has been providing manufacturing industry with a fast and accurate solution for their measurement problems.. but, as ever, Aberlinkare continually striving to improve the solutions which we offer.

Aberlink Broadens its CMM Horizons With Linear Motor Drives

Aberlink has launched a new range of CNC bridge-style CMM. Utilizing linear motors, the HORIZON breaks new ground in CMM design. With an 800mm travel in the X axis, the Horizon completes Aberlink’s range of bridge CMMs and will further extend their horizon into the higher-performance CMM marketplace.

Making Large, Precision Measurements Both Simple and Affordable.

The Zenith 3 CNC CMM is the result of a design evolution of the award winning Zenith too range of machines, taking into account over 20 years of CMM design experience.

Azimuth... from strength to strength

As CMMs get larger, it is not simply a case of scaling up the design of smaller models. Stiffness of the structure is critical, but weight must also be kept to a minimum.T

Specification:

• Sensor: 3 Mega pixel high speed colour camera
• Resolution: 2048 x 1536 (QXGA)
• Stand off: min 125mm | max 1000mm (manually adjusted)
• Field Of View: min 9.5mm | max 125mm
• Pixel Size: min 4.8

Patent pending T-slot and T-nut technology provides infinite adjustment of the fixture components in multiple directions. Clamps, locators and supports can be placed in exactly the right position to suit the part. Greater flexibility results in less complicated designs, fixtures are easier to assemble and completed in less time.

The industrial CMM joystick is a robust lower-cost version of the acclaimed CMM touch-screen joystick. It has full X-Y-Z axis motion control, X-Y-Z +/- direction measurement capability, feed rate override and the ability to insert Move Via points as required.

The touch screen joystick gives you control of the Aberlink 3D inspection software and the 3-axis machine motion from an easy to operate handheld device.

The CMM collimated light enables backlight illumination of 3D or turned components when used with the CMM Camera System. When using collimated light to backlight components, a clear and crisp silhouette, similar to using a profile projector, is produced.

The Aberlink Temperature Compensation option enables your CMM to maintain accuracy in an uncontrolled environment, such as on the shop floor.

In an ideal world, your CMM would be installed in a perfectly temperature controlled room.

The Aberlink automation interface adds the capability for Aberlink 3D programs to be remotely controlled and monitored using an external system allowing any Aberlink CMM to be integrated with an automated component handling system, whether this be a fully controlled, PLC driven manufacturing system, a robotic loader or just an automatic bar feeder.

The whole philosophy for Aberlink is to make measurement easy. Aberlink 3D software has been written by engineers for engineers and sets the industry standard for simple-to-use software. Designed around a graphical interface. Aberlink 3D can work in 2D or 3D, on manual or CNC CMMs and is equally at home when used with either touch, scanning or vision systems.

CAD Comparison Modules

The Aberlink CAD Comparison software module enhances Aberlink 3D with the capability to compare measured points to a CAD model. Often this will be the only way to measure complex parts or perhaps sometimes drawings for the component simply don’t exist.

For many years Aberlink 3D software has been setting the industry standard for both ease of use and speed of programming. However, until now this has been best done by using the teach-and-repeat method of programming when measuring a component.

The Aberlink Vision software module allows Aberlink 3D software to be used for non- contact measuring. Fully Automatic edge detection tools can be used in both manual and CNC mode ensuring fast and repeatable results without relying on the skill of the operator.

Powerful tools allow both geometric and complex shapes to be measured easily.
