Breathe New Life Into Any CMM
CMMs are a mainstay of Quality Control in many facilities, but this can sometimes cause challenges:
- Does your CMM cause bottlenecks in your process because it is constantly in use, or because inspections take too long?
- Are you reaching the limit of the measurable volume on your machine because of the size of your parts?
- Would you like to improve measurement performance without replacing the entire machine?
The Quadrant rotary table range is designed specifically for metrology use, offering an array of improvements to a CMM. Easy to retrofit to existing Coordinate Measurement Machines, and easy to specify for new machines, too.
Quadrant is based on 70 years of continual development and innovation from Rotary Precision Instruments, the leader in precision positioning systems for metrology use. For accuracy and reliability, no other system can match it.
Unsure about which Quadrant model is best suited to your needs? This blog article can help you!
How Quadrant benefits your CMM
Increase measureable volume
Installing a Quadrant rotay table means that you're using the working space in your CMM more efficiently. That allows you to measure larger parts in the same area.
The low profile design of QuadSlimline2 offers even more efficient use of space and it can even be fitted with an air flotation base, allowing it to be easily moved when not in use.
Without Quadrant
Red Zone: Inaccessible measurement area for larger parts
With Quadrant
Green Zone: Required measurement volume for larger parts with rotary table fitted
Improve uncertainty and accuracy
CMMs usually perform at their best when they are not at the extremeties of their measurement range. By using a Quadrant rotary table, probe travel is reduced, improving measurement performance.
Reduce inspection time
When a Quadrant rotary table is installed, probe travel time on a CMM is reduced. The less time the probe spends traveling, the more time it can spend measuring, reducing bottlenecks!
Use on any CMM
The Quadrant range is designed to work with any CMM that supports fourth axis control, making retrofitting and installation easy. No fourth axis in your CMM? No problem, simply use the optional QuadMotion controller to add it.
An inexpensive way to increase CMM capacity
If you're running low on CMM capacity due to the sheer amount of measurements you need to collect, or if you need to measure larger parts than you currently can, replacing a CMM can be a costly process. Using a Quadrant rotary table allows you to get more out of your existing CMMs, reducing capital expenditure and reducing measurement area footprint.
