The X-Cite CMM is an all air bearing machine manufactured from aerospace alloys and optimized through finite element analysis to be both a manual and DCC machine. Uniquely the X-Cite can be upgraded to full DCC in the field thereby allowing your CMM investment to phased over two budget periods. The X-Cite comes standard with 1 micron Renishaw scale offering a no compromise solutions.

Incorporating the very latest in machine base technology the granite and honeycomb alloy structure offers stability while providing natural vibration damping. A granite Y beam allows for preloading of air bearings in both directions allowing for improved accuracy.

X-Cite can be installed through a standard doorway and has a compact footprint. PC and printer are located within the machine base while the keyboard is housed on a slide-out drawer. A standard flat screen monitor is mouted on the rear of the granite plate completing the superb X-Cite CMM ergonomics.

With 2 machine sizes available the X-Cite offers class leading price performance ratio.

X-Cite is available in 2 sizes:

600 (23.6") x 600 (23.6") x 500 (19.7') mm

A manual CMM that has ambition to be DCC

As a manual unit X-Cite has individual locks and fine adjustment for each axis as standard; its hand wheels offer tension control allowing adjustable machine fidelity to suit metrology application and operator feel. Fine adjustment is provided through the pre-installed DCC drives; DCC upgradeability is thereby easily achieved and remarkably does not increase machine footprint.

Competitors manual CMMS have no upgrade path to full DCC.

X-Cite comes standard with the benchmark Renishaw TPES touch probe; the full range of Renishaw manual indexing heads are also available for the more complex metrology tasks their varying weights accommodated by the adjustable pneumatic counterbalance.

A Full function CAD Software with no options

X-Cite comes complete with the industry benchmark OpenDMIS measuring software offering full CAD capabilities as standard and incorporating the unique Qwick Measure feature allowing complete hands-free inspection from the PC making X-Cite the most productive manual CMM ever. The full reverse engineering functionality you to measure and scan features exporting the resulting data in IGES format.

Qwick Measure utilizes the software's intellect to determine the feature type under measurement and allows for rapid part inspection without the traditional tedious need to instruct the software what you intend to inspect next. Simply probe the part and leave the rest to OpenDMIS.

"Minimum mouse clicks" ... A true measure of CMM productivity.

Unlike competitive software's all metrology features and capabilities come standard with

...One Software, 
          One Version, 
                 One Solution... 

The total metrology capabilities of OpenDMIS ensure that whatever your next CMM inspection operation you have the imbedded power to complete the task.
