Opinions on S.F. 4.5.4 CMM

dwade
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

  • , its nice to move it but its not like unplug and move it and plug it back in. There is a process.

    1) Calibrate probes and measure a part in 4 or 5 decimal places 3 to 5 times looking for repeating results.
    2) get a machinist level and check the level of the granite table in multiple areas photographing each check.
    3) Then power down and lower the machine on its wheels and move it.
    4) Raise it back up to the feet and you have to re level it to the same level as before. Use pictures
    5) Power everything back up, home, calibrate probes and remeasure the same part 3 to 5 times to check for repeat ability.

    to do all this usually takes me about 1 to 1 1/2 hours by myself.
