A reliable CMM for production environments and quality control rooms.
.
The Microstar is built on a solid granite base that provides stability. Its moving bridge design offers excellent flexibility for accessing parts while maintaining accuracy and ensuring structural integrity at a reasonable cost.
The design prioritizes a robust bearing support relationship, combined with Helmel’s traditional mechanical precision, based on smooth motion over hardened and ground steel guideways.
.
The perfectly aligned and squared structure ensures intrinsic mechanical accuracy, reducing dependence on volumetric error compensation software.
.
This simplifies calibration and reduces long-term maintenance costs. Whether for production, process control, quality inspection, reverse engineering, or routine dimensional verification, the Microstar is an ideal mid-range platform that delivers consistent performance day after day.
The Microstar series has a proven track record of durability, reliability, and upgradeability, ensuring high return on investment, low operating cost, and long service life.
Modern technology makes measurement a significant contribution to reducing costs and increasing quality. The effectiveness of these attributes is further enhanced by software that is easy to operate and, at the same time, capable of solving complex measurement tasks.
