I have an old Sheffield that i need to dispose of. Doe any one have any ideals about how to go about doing this? I've called several scrap yards and landfills with no luck. A little help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
This makes me think of our Zeiss Contura HTG. It's a 2002 model with a Vast Xt scanning head but the QM doesn't like Zeiss CMMs and until I recently rejoined the company (after being gone for 6 years), they had no one to program it. They did use it running a lot of legacy programs that I had written back in the day. Anyway.... they want to scrap it out even though it still runs and IMHO, is more accurate than all of the Hexagon CMMs that we have and it scans soooooo much better than the Leitz POS that we use. You ever watch a Zeiss Vast machine scan vs. the Leitz scanning a 3D surface or moving around corners the Zeiss smokes the Leitz.
I told him if he was going to scrap it that I'd give him $1k more than what the scrap year would give him and he didn't respond.... sad to see some of these CMMs die the way they do.
