The Phoenix is made for harsh environments, with well-placed covers that prevent temperature shock. Its steel measuring scales on metal structures assure uniform expansion. The Phoenix CMM incorporates all the time-proven features of its “big brother”, the Microstar: hardened precision-ground ways, dual beam bridge with reliable V-and-Flat bearing arrangement and intrinsic accuracy.
The Design of our 1M Series incorporates a hybrid bearing system with a combination of mechanical and air bearing, each utilized to take advantage of optimum performance characteristics.
Our Microstar series of CMMs covers a wider size range from 20” x 30” x 18” to 50” x 80” x 25” and are versatile units for the lab or in the shop. The ways, mechanical bearings, scales and motors are shielded or guarded against harsh environments. All are available with a range of probe systems and software choices.
