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.

    If it's rigged properly it should be okay, I personally would prefer air freight. We had a used Global S 7-10-7 shipped from North Carolina to New Zealand ( 8500+ miles) sea freight. Somewhere in transit the whole crate got crushed breaking off the bracket holding up Z column. Then all the tiedowns came loose allowing the the whole machine slide around inside the crate. That was fun to get it going again without Hexagon support in the country Wink

    Thank you for the story & pictures. The damage looks pretty minimal, seems like you guys really lucked out! So Hexagon ordered new bridge hardware and faring's, then I'm presuming they re-calibrated via a volumetric laser map?
