Starting the Linear Drive Revolution
The Horizon 800 CMM breaks new ground in design and innovation using frictionless linear drives, which are the key to its fast and exceptionally smooth motion.
The granite table and granite Y-axis rail has been designed to take full advantage of the natural thermal density of this remarkable material. The Y-axis linear drive system has been positioned away from the Y-axis linear encoder so that the heat generated by the linear drive is absorbed by the granite without affecting metrology performance.
