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

    Pic #3 doesn't give me a very good warm fuzzy. Maybe a lil' bit of Photoshop could help?
