(Hexagon Metrology: North Kingstown, RI) -- Hexagon Metrology has announced the release of the Optiv Classic 443 tp coordinate measuring machine (CMM), the newest model in the Optiv Classic series. The unit comes touch-trigger probe ready and includes a high-resolution color CCD camera for multisensor applications with microscale to nanoscale precision measurement requirements.

The Classic 443 tp boasts a first-term accuracy of 1.9 microns making it ideal for inspecting small-scale features and parts (e.g., microhole dies, sieves, filters, fiber optics, and inkjet nozzles) as well as complex, densely populated precision parts from the medical, aerospace, electronics, or automotive industries. This entry-level, high-capacity multisensor CMM provides more than five times the measurement volume of its smaller brother, the Optiv Classic 321GL tp.

In addition to the high-resolution color CCD camera, the Classic 443 tp’s vision technology includes calibrated lighting and a multisegment LED triple angle ring light to create better contrast for edge detection. The CMM features a 12X CNC motorized zoom for continuous field-of-view and resolution adjustment, and an LED status indicator providing a quick visual check of the machine’s status.
