maximum acceleration of 2,309mm/s2 (7.57”/s2). To ensure excellent levels of rigidity, a range of advanced, robust structures are employed in CRYSTA-Apex S Series CMMs. The CMMs’ Y-axis guide rails are integrated into one side of the machine’s granite surface plate, ensuring minimum deterioration and prolonged accuracy levels. Also, air bearings, located on the underside, front, and upper surfaces of the CMMs’ X-axis slider units. This arrangement minimizes vibration, even during high-speed, high-acceleration movement, and ensures stable linear motion. CRYSTA-Apex S CMMs are equipped with an advanced temperature compensation system that guarantees the accuracy of measurement results under temperature conditions of 60.8 to 78.8 °F (16 to 26 °C). In addition to providing high-precision results in temperature controlled quality department, thanks to the CMMs’ temperature compensation system CRYSTA- Apex S models are also able to deliver first-class levels of precision on the shop-floor. CRYSTA-Apex S CMMs use Mitutoyo’s renowned MCOSMOS - modular software. The easy to use, highly-efficient software allows users to quickly organize, execute, calculate and report all findings. MCOSMOS boasts multiple useful features, if required the software enables measurement programs to be organised on networks, whilst results can be archived in a range of formats including PDF, XLS and HTML. Commands and instructions can be added to guide operators through their inspection routines. Whilst inspection reports that meet individual customers’ needs can be created. Other useful MCOSMOS elements includes a comprehensive Statistical Process Control (SPC) package. n

To enable users’ inspection operations to keep-pace with today’s fast-paced production speeds, Mitutoyo’s feature rich, yet easy to use CMM analysis and reporting software ensures that all measurement results are quickly interpreted. Also, if required, comprehensive inspection reports can be automatically generated. The Mitutoyo CRYSTA-Apex S model, as purchased by Magtec, is an advance CNC CMM that meets global standards. In addition to boasting an impressive accuracy specification, CRYSTA-Apex S Series CMMs deliver impressive levels of inspection efficiency. For example, the high-performance machines deliver a maximum drive speed of 693mm/s (27.2”/s), and a
