Mitutoyo Corporation has announced the release of the latest LEGEX , ultra-high accuracy CNC coordinate measuring machine (CMM).

This product way originally developed in 1998. The latest model of the LEGEX series achieves an ultra accurate performance of  MPE = (0.28+L/1000) μm.

With the unceasing advance of scientific and industrial technologies, driving demand for significant improvements in high-accuracy manufacturing, Mitutoyo LEGEX meets the needs of a growing number of manufacturers with applications such as ultra-precise molds, components and aspherical lenses in the automotive, aviation and medical instrument industries, and calibration of master gauges for research institutes. To meet these increasing needs Mitutoyo has looked at the question of accuracy afresh, from the elemental technology level upward, with the aim of eliminating all possible sources of measurement error. As a result the company has developed the LEGEX 4, which far surpasses conventional CMM performance to deliver world-leading accuracy in length measurement of E0, MPE = (0.28+L/1000) μm.

Key Features

Fixed-bridge structure with moving tableSources of static and dynamic error minimized to realize world-leading measurement accuracy of 0.28 μmbase design is made from spheroidal graphite (ductile) cast iron to a sealed-structure design that provides high rigidity and vibration attenuating characteristics.High-rigidity structure and feed mechanisms increase accuracy and improve cycle timesFocus on usage environment including thermally symmetric structure and full covers around the main body to reduce possible impact in ambient temperature changes, as well as standard including of vibration-dampening unitDesign creates uniformity across series
