SHOP FLOOR CMMS – Leitz SIRIO SX / BX

Ultra-High Accuracy Shop-Floor Coordinate Measuring Machines

A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is a device that measures the geometry of physical objects by sensing discrete points on the surface of the object with a probe. Various types of probes are used in CMMs, including mechanical, optical, laser, and white light. Depending on the machine, the probe position may be manually controlled by an operator or it may be computer controlled. CMMs typically specify a probe’s position in terms of its displacement from a reference position in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system (i.e., with XYZ axes). In addition to moving the probe along the X, Y, and Z axes, many machines also allow the probe angle to be controlled to allow measurement of surfaces that would otherwise be unreachable.

FEATURES:

• PrimeTherm Technology

With PrimeTherm technology, Leitz SIRIO SX and Leitz SIRIO BX are thermally stable. PrimeTherm is based on a number of different innovations. The first is the machine body, which is made from a special temperature-stable material. Secondly a medium is pumped through the machine body to even out the internal temperatures. Thanks to PrimeTherm technology, the Leitz SIRIO SX and Leitz SIRIO BX can operate without a climate control system, running highly-accurate measuring routines within a temperature range of 15 °C to 40 °C.

• PrimeScan Technology

The PrimeScan technology is combined with PrimeScan sensor, which is available only on the Leitz SIRIO SX and Leitz SIRIO BX. The measurement head provides highly-accurate measurements with excellent high-speed scanning performance. PrimeScan technology offers new features for safe measuring and ease of handling of the probe heads, while leaving no opportunity for operating errors or incorrect measurements.

• PrimeCare Technology

Offering safety benefits, higher availability of the measuring machine and lower maintenance costs, PrimeCare technology takes good care of the CMM and the cost effectiveness of quality assurance. Crashes of any kind are best avoided and that’s exactly what the collision-avoiding axes successfully ensure by detecting any forces that exceed the set acceleration values. The axes take avoiding action immediately and come to an emergency stop to prevent damage to the measurement head. 

• Ceramic Components

Core components are made of engineering ceramics for high stability.

• Component Decoupling

Load-bearing components are decoupled from the metrological frame and the drive introduces no drive forces that could influence the measurement results.

• Low Centre of Gravity

The low centre of gravity increases stability, vibration resistance and throughput.

• SENMATION SX

The SENMATION SX automated sensor changing system, designed specifically for the Leitz SIRIO BX CMM, allows the combination of tactile and optical sensors within one measurement routine.
