I was wondering if there is a standard age / years that we should plan for CMM replacement. I understand it depends on how much is the CMM used, its environment, etc. but was not sure if there is an industry standard. I have heard 12 years, 15 years etc. Thank you
1989 Xcel 7-10-7 & 1989 Xcel 9-12-9, replaced controllers, replaced drive motors, replaced air-lines and Air Drier.
2001 Global Replaced Air-lines and Air Drier.
air bearing surfaces wiped down at the beginning of each shift.
no air wands in lab.
I Agree with Peter Fuller: The life of your machine is more likely going to be defined by how well you maintain it.
