GLOBAL Scan+ coordinate measuring machine

Bridge - High Accuracy

General-purpose measurements of size and form features with high performance tactile scanning

GLOBAL Scan+ adds tactile scanning to the range of possible applications. With tactile scanning, a large number of surface points are captured within a short time, enabling highly accurate form and profile measurements on functional parts.

GLOBAL Scan+ combines tactile scanning capability with the flexibility of an automatic probe head. The scanning probe can be positioned at various spatial angles, making accessing more complex workpieces easy. An accompanying styli changer rack accelerates the inspection process by enabling fast changes of styli configurations within a measuring program without restricting the available measurement volume.

Typical applications:

  • Housings
  • Gearboxes
  • Gearboxes

General-purpose measurement of size features:

  • Functional fit assessment
  • Assembly parts with narrow form tolerances: straightness, flatness, roundness, cylindricity, line/surface profile
  • Efficient in-line measurement of the most part geometries with high precision

Benefits:

  • Measurement of features with tolerances in a low micron range
  • High scanning speed and measuring throughput
  • High measuring point density for an accurate evaluation of form errors
  • CAD-based scan path creation, 3D simulated collision checks and probe path optimisations, real-time part to- CAD comparison and GD&T analysis

Tactile scanning probe mounted on an automatic probe head

  • Fast and accurate contour and form measurements with the best-suited orientation due to flexible sensor positioning.

Styli changer rack outside the measurement volume

Automatically exchange styli configurations without restricting the measuring volume.

Sturdy mechanical design

The solid granite base with integrated dovetail guide guarantees long‑term system stability and consistent accuracy over the entire measurement volume.

High-speed and safety

Continuous monitoring of a defined safety area around the CMM allows worry-free high-speed measurement in CNC mode. The machine will slow down automatically when the user or an object encroaches upon the protected area.

Messaging lights

Messaging lights give operators the ability to monitor the machine’s status even from a distance, to optimise time and resource management.

Future-ready concept

The future‑ready pre‑cabling enables easy adaptation of the CMMs to future measurement tasks without costly downtime. A range of adaptability options can be flexibly selected during initial CMM configuration or set up later as upgrades.

Temperature compensation

Real‑time compensation of thermally caused measurement deviations through temperature sensing at the scales and on the workpiece ensures reliable measurement results.

Bridge with triangular crossbeam

Featuring an improved stiffnessto- mass ratio relative to square or rectangular traverses, this design allows for the highest dynamics and high‑speed measurements.

Preloaded air bearings on all axes

Contactless, low-friction and lowwear axis motion ensures fast and repeatable positioning at all speeds and accelerations, resulting in low measuring uncertainties.

Real-time system monitoring

PULSE enables the user to monitor and log any environmental conditions surrounding the CMM and receive real‑time machine information.

Extended temperature operating range

Measure your components with more resistance to environmental influences. An extended temperature operating range (15 – 30°C) allows the CMM to operate closer to the production line without needing a costly climate room.

Low-maintenance belt drive system

Flat and V-ribbed belts ensure smooth and low-vibration axis motion.

Multisensor versatility

Using the widest range of tactile and optical sensors with Hexagon’s universal sensor interface, the CMM becomes a multisensory inspection device that can adapt to the most complex measuring tasks with fully automatic sensor exchange during a measurement cycle.
