Taurus Large-Part Gantry CMM
A gantry CMM platform for large, heavy, and oversized parts requiring open access and stable long-travel measurement.
Taurus is designed for large-part inspection where loading access, travel length, and mechanical stability are central to the measurement process. Its floor-mounted gantry structure leaves the measuring area open for large workpieces while supporting accurate inspection of oversized components.
Best For
- Large and heavy workpieces.
- Aerospace structures and tooling.
- Automotive body, frame, and fixture inspection.
- Large castings, fabrications, and welded assemblies.
- Applications requiring crane or open-floor part loading.
Machine Structure
- Floor-mounted gantry architecture.
- Foundation surface used as the worktable.

Specifications, configurations, and performance values are for reference only and may vary by model, options, operating environment, and acceptance standard. Final specifications should be confirmed in the quotation or technical agreement.
Recommended Probing / Controller Packages
- Large-part touch-trigger package: motorized indexing head with robust touch-trigger modules and long-stylus planning.
- Scanning package: SC30 scanning probe with CZ10M-S head and MACC3000Plus controller when profile data or surface coverage is required.
- Large-volume application package: custom styli, extension planning, part fixturing review, and operator access planning.
- Final probing and controller selection should be reviewed against part geometry, loading method, accuracy target, and software workflow.
FAQ
Is Taurus built for large parts?
Yes. Taurus is a gantry CMM designed for large and ultra-large workpiece inspection with open access for loading and measurement.
Does Taurus require a special foundation?
Foundation and floor conditions should be reviewed before order confirmation because the installation directly affects stability and long-travel performance.
Can the load capacity be customized?
Yes. Maximum load capacity is reviewed and configured according to the application and site requirements.
Can Taurus support scanning inspection?
Yes. Scanning configurations can be reviewed based on part size, surface type, controller selection, and software workflow.
