Opinions on S.F. 4.5.4 CMM

Need some input if anyone is using a S.F. 4.5.4 as management is looking to buy one.

If you do, what are your thoughts on the CMM? Are they accurate? Are the repeatable? Any mechanical issues with them? Any and all legitimate comments are welcome.

TIA

  • They only have one of these here. Had to be completely rebuilt and replace the light transformer. The main issue was the Sheffield controller that was replace with a I believe FBII controller. Not sure if Hexagon is still using that Sheffield controller with the SF454 anymore. This cmm was purchase in 2016 new. After the awesome work performed by Hexagon this cmm SF454 just keeps going and going. Great little CMM. Looks like they might have improved the way the monitor is mounted on the cmm. Before I can move this cmm thru a man door I have to remove the monitor and jog box mounting.
