Best-Fit Applications
Where Pisces Fits Best
Pisces is intended for first automated inspection projects where practical touch-trigger capability, compact part coverage, and budget control matter more than scanning or ultra-low uncertainty.
Entry-level automated inspection
Use Pisces when you need an entry bridge CMM for routine dimensional inspection without scanning requirements.
Small to medium parts
Good for incoming QC teams that need automated measurement on compact and medium parts.
Incoming inspection
A practical fit when budget control matters more than the lowest available uncertainty.
