Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence unveils new GLOBAL CMM range

Designed in collaboration with internationally-renowned design house Pininfarina, this new best-in-class machine is tailored specifically to offer process speed and efficiency to manufacturers requiring accurate tactile scanning and high throughput.

Features and benefits

Built on the reliable foundations of the highly-successful GLOBAL range, GLOBAL EVO features a number of new technologies to improve speed without compromising on performance.

Central to the design is Compass, a combined hardware/firmware vibration reduction technology which acts like a suspension system for the CMM. With Compass, the machine can effectively compensate for vibrations caused by its own movements, enabling higher-speed scanning with no loss of accuracy.

 Accompanied by the Scan Pilot firmware feature, which ensures robust and rapid measurements even when scanning complex unknown profiles, Compass gives GLOBAL EVO its outstanding scanning performance.

GLOBAL EVO is also the first CMM to include Fly2 Mode, the next-generation of Hexagon’s trajectory-optimising technology. Automatically generating and implementing the most efficient path between points, Fly2 Mode ensures smooth movements and reduces program execution times.

Featuring Eco Mode as standard, GLOBAL EVO automatically powers down to save electricity during periods of inactivity, improving energy efficiency but keeping the machine ready to go. Operating costs are reduced with no impact on throughput or performance.

Optional messaging lights

The GLOBAL EVO messaging light option kit integrates LED alert lights into the CMM so you can check machine status at a glance, even at a distance. This means the CMM can be left to measure, allowing you to optimise time and resource management.
