Mitutoyo America Corporation is excited to introduce the CRYSTA-Apex V,
our latest innovative CNC Coordinate Measuring Machine design.
Available in four widths and 13 models, the Apex V series of CMM’s
focuses on accuracy, speed, and versatility, delivering high-speed,
highly accurate measurements for small to large-sized workpieces of any shape.
The new Crysta-Apex V series CMM drastically shortens the measurement time
by allowing the user to set measuring paths for high-speed scanning,
additionally employing the use of 3D and active scanning of complex workpieces.
The CRYSTA-Apex V series offers multi-sensor flexibility with vision,
laser, surface finish, and scanning probe technologies.
In addition, the AV series also supports a wide range of measurements and variety
of workpieces, improving overall productivity and reducing downtime.
The new design also provides unification of the overall Mitutoyo brand
and introduces Mitutoyo’s SMART Measuring System, or SMS,
a combination of technologies that provide monitoring and data collection.
The SMS leverages the capabilities of the Internet of Things
and Industry 4.0 and provides visualization of data to monitor
the online operation
and status of measuring equipment in the production line remotely.
Mitutoyo’s newly designed Absolute Digimatic Scale,
or ABS, is incorporated into the CRYSTA-Apex V
and provides faster measuring cycles and measurement flexibility
along with improved durability for harsh environments.
The ABS scale technology eliminates the need for the CMM to start in the home position,
greatly reducing start-up time without impacting accuracy.
The CRYSTA-Apex V includes a state-of-the art real-time environmental temperature
compensation sensors and guarantees measurement accuracy
under an expanded range of temperature conditions from 16°C to 26°C.
The real-time temperature compensation unit measures scales,
workpiece, fixture and ambient temperatures
and greatly contributes to measurement accuracy.
The SMS system’s Condition Monitor feature provides preventive maintenance
and improved productivity by monitoring the current condition
and capturing historical data of your measuring instrument.
The Condition Monitor is integrated with the temperature compensation sensors
to track environmental temperatures during measurement
which allows for more traceable product
quality assurance for MCOSMOS/MeasurLink reporting.
New features include the latest version of Mitutoyo’s MeasurLink software,
to centrally manage the manufacturing process information
for real-time data management and maximize productivity and reduce
defective products by collecting and analyzing data in real time.
Users will be able to choose the optimal probe for their workpiece
from Mitutoyo’s lineup of CMM scanning and non-contact probes.
By consolidating and eliminating previous models,
the PH10Q probe is the standard configuration.
This makes serviceability and support easier.
Additionally, support is offered for shank mount probe configurations,
but require additional hardware,
these include PH-10T, 10M, and 10MQ types.
The Crysta-AV series has been designed with a new UC 480 controller,
which is very modular and can be removed from the CMM
and disassembled to the mainboard level in 20 minutes.
This feature improves the CMM’s maintenance
and greatly reduces man-hours during set up.
The New generation CRYSTA Apex V series CNC CMM is designed for today’s
smart factory with faster measurements, precise
accuracy and advanced information and production management.
All of Mitutoyo’s NEW lineup of Crysta-AV systems come with Mitutoyo America’s
next generation of comprehensive aftercare, Gold Care PLUS.
This combined package of aftercare services and productivity enhancements
provide customers with long-term system value.
Along with the original Gold Care package of two-year extended warranty,
two additional calibrations, five–year free phone support, fixturing and styli,
Gold Care PLUS extends the value further with innovative new products
including the updated SMS support functions; Status Monitor with MT-Connect,
MeasurLink Version 9, and the Fixture Builder
and Quick Launcher software packages to support increased productivity.
