Coord Bridge CMM – Ares
The ARES CMM combines a compact, low-height design with exceptional measurement accuracy. Available in manual or CNC configurations, with upgrade options and advanced ARES NT models for high-precision metrology applications.
Description
The ARES Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is designed to deliver exceptional accuracy while maintaining a compact footprint. With an overall height lower than most CMMs on the market, and an optional low-section stand that further reduces machine height by 100 mm, the ARES is an ideal solution for quality control laboratories with limited ceiling clearance.
Available in both manual and CNC configurations, the ARES offers excellent flexibility for growing businesses. Manual machines can be upgraded to full CNC operation at a later stage, providing a cost-effective path to increased automation and productivity.
The range is available in two performance levels. The standard ARES model is suited to a wide variety of inspection applications, while the ARES NT is designed for higher-precision measurement requirements. Featuring a silicon carbide Z-axis column for enhanced rigidity, the ARES NT delivers outstanding stability and accuracy and is fully compatible with the complete range of Renishaw scanning technologies for advanced metrology applications.
