Best-Fit Applications
Where Taurus Fits Best
Taurus is selected when part envelope, fixture size, or loading method exceeds bridge CMM limits and the project requires gantry planning.
Large parts
Use Taurus for oversized parts, fixtures, tooling, and heavy components that exceed bridge CMM travel.
Aerospace structures
A fit when foundation, loading route, fixture height, and site preparation are part of the quote.
Automotive tooling
Best handled as a project-specific gantry configuration rather than a standard catalog purchase.

Structure & motion
Engineering Highlights
Taurus Structure and Motion Package
Taurus is a project-style gantry CMM where foundation, loading route, dual-side motion, and on-site acceptance planning are part of the configuration.
Floor-Mounted Gantry Structure
Uses the foundation plane as the working table for easier loading of large and heavy workpieces.
High-Rigidity Drive System
All three axes use a zero-backlash, high-stiffness friction steel-belt drive.
Ultra-Long Y-Axis Guides
Smooth guide joining technology supports long-travel large-part measurement.
Dual-Side Gantry Control
Dual elevated sides, dual scales, and dual drives help reduce Y-axis yaw error.

Large-Part CMM Planning Checklist
Foundation planning
Confirm foundation flatness, stability, embedded plate requirements, machine footprint, and surrounding clearance.
Transportation route
Review unloading method, door height, crane or forklift access, crate path, and installation space.
Installation and alignment
Plan installation sequence, leveling, guide alignment, air and power routing, and environmental stabilization.
On-site acceptance
Define acceptance artifact, measurement length, temperature condition, and acceptance standard before shipment.
Custom load requirements
Clarify maximum part weight, loading method, floor loading, fixture height, and part support strategy.
Project timeline
Align production schedule, site preparation, installation crew, acceptance testing, and operator training.
