(Hexagon Metrology, North Kingstown, RI) -- Hexagon Metrology Inc. has announced the immediate availability of the new Leitz PMM-G series of gantry coordinate measurement machines (CMM) at Gear Expo 2009 being held this week in Indianapolis, Indiana. With improved specifications and additional size availability, the new Leitz CMM is used for high-precision inspection of extremely large components such as gears used for the wind power industry, as well as gear segments, gear racks, and geared shafts of up to 5,000 mm in diameter.

“The PMM-G represents the ultimate in Leitz large-scale gear inspection,” says Pete Edge, product manager for Leitz products. “Unlike other gear inspection products, it does not require a rotary table, which makes part loading and unloading much easier. It also allows a maximum part weight of 15 metric tons. This system is ideal for the extremely large gears used in the wind power industry, for power generation, and power transfer products. Even better, the PMM-G system is not a single-purpose inspection station just for gears, but a fully capable coordinate measuring machine that can be used to inspect many other kinds of large machined assemblies, such as gear boxes and engine blocks.”
