All Helmel Coordinate Measuring Machines have bearing systems characterized by strong bearing ratios, design emphasis on balance, attention to the center of moving mass, and optimized drive locations. Our CMMs are constructed with Intrinsic Mechanical Accuracy – IMA: they are physically straight, flat, square, and true, with precision derived from the structure. In most cases the introduction and expense of error mapping is not required. When applied, however, it is built on top of a sound and physically accurate structure¹.

Turn off error mapping on any competitive machine and you reveal a poor underlying product, for which you pay a dear price. Mapping is done to reduce production costs, but it will cost you more each time you need calibration because error correction files are hidden behind password protection only the OEM can access, binding you to their higher priced services for years. All calibration files on Helmel CMMs are open and accessible.

The design of our 1M Series incorporates a hybrid bearing system, with a combination of mechanical and air bearings, each utilized to take advantage of optimum performance characteristics.
