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?
Pretty sure most CMM these days have switching power supplies. The electrical label should show what voltages it works on and most likely it will be something like 100-270vac but definitely something that should be investigated before plugging it in.
