Polaris-C Classic Bridge CMM

A high-value bridge CMM platform for precision inspection, fast part throughput, and flexible lab measurement workflows.

Polaris-C is built for manufacturers that need reliable bridge CMM performance without overcomplicating the measurement cell. Its rigid bridge architecture, air-bearing motion system, and temperature compensation sensors support stable, repeatable inspection for machined parts, molds, fixtures, and production quality control.

Best For

- Precision machining: dimensional inspection for CNC-machined metal and plastic parts.

- Mold and tooling: cavity, insert, electrode, and fixture verification.

- General QC labs: incoming inspection, first article inspection, and batch sampling.

- Growing metrology teams: a balanced platform for touch-trigger and scanning workflows.

Machine Structure

- Classic moving bridge CMM architecture.

- Granite beam supported by lightweight aluminum frame elements.

- Four-sided air-bearing guideway system for smooth motion.

- Optimized bridge weight for speed, rigidity, and dynamic stability.

- Linear temperature sensors on all three axes.

Recommended Probing / Controller Packages

- Standard touch-trigger package: CZ10T-S motorized probe head with CF20 touch-trigger modules.

- Flexible stylus change package: CF20 body, CF20 modules, and change rack for repeatable module switching.

- Scanning-ready package: SC30 scanning probe package with CZ10M-S head and MACC3000Plus controller where scanning productivity is required.

- Controller selection should be confirmed based on probing mode, software, retrofit requirements, and customer workflow.

FAQ

Q: Is Polaris-C the right choice for a general QC lab?

A: Yes. Polaris-C is designed as a balanced bridge CMM for precision inspection, production sampling, and first article work.

Q: Can Polaris-C support scanning probes?

A: Yes. Scanning configurations are available, subject to machine size, controller choice, software integration, and application requirements.

Q: What should be prepared before installation?

A: A stable floor, clean compressed air, controlled temperature, power supply, part loading access, and service clearance should be confirmed before delivery.
