Requirements for Re-Locating a CMM

What are the requirements to move a Hexagon SF7107? I don't have the original shipping braces. Can I purchase new ones? Does a technician have to over see the move? Or just recalibrate it after it's moved?

  • If you have a 7.10.7 SF, it's designed to be somewhat mobile. By somewhat, I mean rolling it into another room, across the shop floor, whatever. Basically, if you can push it by hand, you should be fine. If you're trying to move via vehicle, call Hexagon.

    Are you certain you don't have the brackets? I don't know the specific design of that model, but I know for certain that on most other moveable machines, particularly the Sheffield Discovery, the installing tech almost always put the shipping brackets in the base. The Discovery brackets weren't all that large, either, mostly strategically spaced blocks a couple inches long.
  • I somewhat agree with you, Random, but still wouldn't encourage this, even if it has wheels. One person understands what you wrote and would be careful. Problem is that one person won't move that machine alone. While people moving it would say "its got wheels" or "we're just moving it 50 feet" kinda lies in the best catch phrase ever "Hold my beer, and watch this!!" Rolling eyes
