NEW Horizon linear motor CMM from Aberlink

Purdue Metrology News and PR from Purdue Metrology - Published 12 May 2021 Smooth, silent, fast, highly accurate and capable of using a huge variety of Renishaw probes and probe heads and well Aberlink's own 2D camera.
Frictionless linear drives are the key to the Horizon’s fast and exceptionally smooth motion, ideal for a scanning CMM, form measurement of geometric and complex shapes. The innovative kinematic isolated drive structure is completely independent of the CMM structure. By driving the bridge through its centre of gravity the Horizon’s design gains all the metrology benefits of a CMM with a raised Y axis guideway, but without having the inconvenience of associated limited access.

Being non-contact, the linear motors will also have no wearing parts and provide the perfect solution for CMM drives, improving reliability and reducing maintenance. The result of all this novel design is that we have now produced a stand-out machine with fast, smooth, silent motion ideally suited to contact scanning and with a first-term accuracy specification of under two microns.
