Looking to upgrade

Good day to all;
​My shop is looking to upgrade our CMM, we currently have 2 machines a 4.5.4 SF and a 7.10.7 SF both Hexagon Brown and Sharp.
We have 2 ideas for an upgrade. 1st- We are thinking of trading in the 4.5.4 sf for a 7.10.7 Global with scan capabilities(which we currently don't have) we will then have a 7.10.7 sf and a 7.10.7 global.
2nd- We are thinking of trading in both 4.5.4 and 7.10.7 for a one machine a Global S, with probing capabilities. The Global S is a bigger and better machine, at least that is what I have read and heard. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated. We are in need of an upgrade, we do not have scanning capabilities.​

  • It may be worthwhile to go up at least one size bigger on at least one of the CMM's. The day after the machines are installed, sales is going to land a contract for parts that won't quite fit on what you bought.


    100000% agree if you think you need a 7-10-7 get a 9-12-8, exactly what kingsld1 said happened to us a week after we got our 7-10-7 blue.
