(GMT: Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India) -- Guindy Machine Tools (GMT) has expanded its coordinate measuring machine (CMM) product range by introducing the new GRANO 12 20 10 for larger components. GRANO 12 20 10 has a measurement volume of 1,200 × 2,000 × 1,000 mm. Its volumetric measurement uncertainty is 3.5 + L/200 μm, and its probing uncertainty is specified at 3.0 μm. As with all GMT CMMs, a choice of software is available to suit the application and the budget.

The GRANO 12 20 10 is an easy-to-handle bridge CMM suitable for a variety of dimensional inspection tasks on general mechanical and prismatic components where touch-trigger and scanning measurements are the key solution. All three axes are made of high-performance granite, with identical characteristics in temperature response and rigidity. Noncontact optical steel encoder scales mounted on granite members assure uniform thermal behavior. All axes employ high-precision air bearings to provide a friction-free, highly accurate, and maintenance-free motion.
