This is my 1st post, just happened to google the words Tesa and here I am. I have driven a few CMM's over the last 20yrs or so. Started out with a DEA Big Gantry at Lear Seigler(Neway) Muskegon yrs ago which was a big table manual move machine. Then went to Shape Corportation about 14yrs ago and ran a NC move programmable DEA left after 1 yr. We changed it over to a PH9 head just before I left. Present job aerospace/avionics as Quality Director Prime Products for the last 13 yrs. I have a Mitutoyo Quick Vision 1997 and am looking to upgrade. Presently looking at the new Tesa Visio 500 and thinking about purchasing one. Not sure if they even have one ready to go yet, but my contact has quoted already. We like the PC-DMIS software and this one will have the CAD package on it. We have some flat work lasered out of some mylar that the vision end of this machine will check to begin with. Looking for suggestions on purchasing this brand. Just visited the Quality Expo a while back and we have lined up with this model w/PC-DMIS software. We need the bigger table 16" x 20" but about 90% could be run on the 300mm machine. Thanks for your help. This seems like a great website!
Although i agree the QV is a nice machine the software of PCDmis Vision is far superior and if you are struggling with the thought of the Visio have you considered an Optiv from Brown and Sharpe.
These machines come in 3 accuracy specifications and are tailored to the customers needs with a unique component design allowing upgrade in the field as your design - budget - or application changes.
The system even incorporates the capability of a dual Z allowing touch probe to be added seperately if required so you can run the system as if it was a Tactile CMM offering no restriction
