Hexagon LAMBDA SP CMM for Large Part Measurement

Description

The LAMBDA SP is a line of very large measuring machines designed for operation in industrial environments. LAMBDA SP excels in high-speed, high-accuracy inspection of huge components, such as marine engines, aircraft structures or turbines that require open, modular, easily customizable structures with virtually unlimited measuring volumes.

For over 40 years, Hexagon has been the unrivalled market leader in gantry CMMs. In 1963, the name DEA was established with the pioneering ALPHA gantry CMM. In the decades since, ever-advancing technology, innovative solutions and constant development in collaboration with customers has led to hundreds of installations worldwide. The gantry architecture is the ideal solution for all measurement applications on large-sized automotive and aerospace components, as well as heavy transportation, communication and satellite equipment. Designed without central pillars, the CMM offers easy access to the measurement volume and easy loading and integration with part transportation systems, alongside world-class dynamics and accuracy performance.

LAMBDA SP is a line of very large machines designed for the shop floor environment. Extra-large measuring volume and its dynamic and metrological performance allow dimensional inspection of very large precision components, such as marine engines, aircraft frames, satellite modules, turbines, etc. The outstanding performance of this machine results from advanced technical solutions like the dual drive/encoder system on the main carriage, the Slant Bridge technology and the ACTIV® structural temperature compensation. The optional HH-ACW-43MW continuous wrist further enhances inspection capability due to its long probe extensions and full access to the workpiece in any direction.
