Transporting bridge CMM via international Air freight

louisd
My company wants to move an installed Zeiss CMM from France to Arizona, (~6000 miles) quickly. They are discussing air freight.
Does anyone have firsthand experience with air-freighting a CMM?

The hairs on my neck stood up when it was mentioned, it sounds so high risk.

  • Think they should sell the French CMM and use the money as a down payment for a local machine. I'd be willing to bet the French CMM is probably not configured in an ideal way. Too big, wrong sensor or something along those lines. Are French and US electrical standards compatible?

    the only possible difference is 120vAC single phase or 220vAC dual phase, of which, you just drop a dedicated 220v line into the room, and change the plug configuration at the controller. We actually had a 220v DEA on site for ~20 years. it was 220vAC and we had a 120v-supplied power transformer/Battery backup doing the upconverting for us without the need for a dedicated 220v drop.
