Hexagon Metrology Launches Optiv Classic 443 tp

Hexagon Metrology announced the release of the Optiv Classic 443 tp, the newest model in the Optiv Classic series. Each unit comes touch probe-ready and includes a high-resolution CCD (charge-coupled device) camera for multi-sensor applications with micro- to nano-scale precision measurement requirements.

According to the company, the Classic 443 tp boasts a first term accuracy of 1.9 microns, making it  ideal for the inspection of small scale features and parts like micro-hole dies, sieves, filters, fiber optics and inkjet nozzles as well as complex, densely populated precision parts from the medical, aerospace, electronics or automotive industries. This entry level, high-capacity multi-sensor CMM (coordinate measuring machine) provides more than five times the measurement volume of the Optiv Classic 321GL tp.

The unit includes calibrated lighting, a high-resolution color CCD camera, and a multi-segment LED triple angle ring light to create better contrast for edge detection. The multi-sensor CMM features a 12x CNC motorized zoom for continuous adjustment of field of view and resolution, and an LED status indicator providing a quick visual check of the machine’s status.

It comes standard with PC-DMIS Vision image processing software and optional online 3D CAD capabilities for live programming of the machine to compare measured values to nominals.
