Looking to upgrade

angel@rimecoproducts.com
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.​

  • 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.

    It can also just be nice to have enough room to keep the qualification sphere mounted near the back of the machine most of the time. Sooo convenient.

    It has been a while since I have had a new machine quoted, but in the past I have been very surprised how little cost difference there can be between the different sizes. It's a bit like movie theater popcorn pricing. A small costs a lot and a large is just a bit more. I think most of the actual cost is in the electronics, probes, and software licensing. The main structure seems to be the cheap part.
