Overview
The MC003-ML Series Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is a high-precision, large-volume geometric metrology system engineered for industrial quality control, aerospace component verification, automotive body-in-white inspection, and heavy machinery validation. Based on the moving bridge architecture with a single-side high-frame support, this CMM delivers enhanced mechanical rigidity while minimizing dynamic angular deflection—particularly along the Y-axis—through optimized mass distribution and elevated Y-axis guideway positioning. Its all-granite structural framework ensures uniform thermal expansion coefficients across X, Y, and Z axes, significantly reducing thermally induced volumetric errors in ambient workshop environments. Designed in accordance with ISO 10360-2 (Acceptance and Re-verification Tests for Coordinate Measuring Machines), the system provides traceable dimensional measurement capability for features including length, flatness, parallelism, perpendicularity, concentricity, and true position, supporting both discrete point probing and continuous scanning workflows.
Key Features
- Single-side high-frame moving bridge architecture improves static and dynamic stiffness, reducing Y-axis guideway deformation under load and enhancing long-term repeatability.
- Full granite construction across all three axes guarantees identical thermal behavior, minimizing drift and improving stability during extended operation or ambient temperature fluctuations.
- Elevated Y-axis guideways reduce moving bridge mass by up to 18%, directly lowering inertia and enabling faster acceleration without compromising geometric fidelity.
- Self-cleaning preloaded air bearings provide frictionless, non-contact motion with sub-micron repeatability and zero wear over extended service life.
- Imported DC servo motors coupled with precision friction rod transmission deliver high-torque, low-backlash motion control—critical for maintaining path accuracy during high-speed scanning routines.
- Pneumatic counterbalance on the Z-axis eliminates gravitational sag effects, ensuring consistent probe tip positioning and improved vertical axis resolution.
- German-engineered SB-series CNC controller offers real-time trajectory interpolation, adaptive feedrate control, and robust electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding for factory-floor reliability.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The MC003-ML accommodates workpieces ranging from small machined brackets (≥50 mm) to large castings, welded assemblies, and composite tooling fixtures (up to 3,500 mm in Y). Its open-front loading configuration and wide clearance between columns simplify part handling—especially for irregularly shaped or heavy components requiring crane-assisted placement. All models comply with ISO 10360-2 for length measurement error (MPEE₀) and ISO 10360-5 for probing error (PFTU), with certified performance validated via calibrated step gauges and sphere artifacts traceable to NIM (National Institute of Metrology, China). Optional integration with ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration services supports GLP/GMP audit readiness and FDA 21 CFR Part 11-compliant data integrity requirements when paired with AC-DMIS audit trail modules.
Software & Data Management
AC-DMIS is a full-featured metrology software platform developed specifically for multi-sensor CMMs. It supports DMIS 4.3 and 5.3 programming standards, GD&T evaluation per ASME Y14.5–2018 and ISO 1101, and automated report generation in PDF, Excel, and XML formats. The software includes built-in statistical process control (SPC) tools, tolerance stack-up analysis, and CAD-based best-fit alignment with iterative closest point (ICP) algorithms. Audit trail functionality logs all user actions—including program edits, probe changes, and result overrides—with timestamps and operator IDs, satisfying regulatory requirements for data integrity and change control. Optional cloud synchronization enables secure remote job monitoring and centralized fleet management across distributed manufacturing sites.

- Energy: Inspection of wind turbine blade root flanges, nuclear valve seat profiles, and heat exchanger tube sheet hole patterns.
- Heavy Industry: Dimensional confirmation of large-scale forging dies, hydraulic cylinder bores, and railcar bogie frame squareness.
- Tool & Die: Mold cavity surface deviation mapping, electrode geometry verification, and progressive die strip alignment checks.
FAQ
What is the maximum permissible error (MPE) for the MC003-ML Series, and how is it verified?
The MPE follows the form E₀ = a + L/b (µm), where L is the measured length in mm. Values range from 3.0 + L/250 µm (for the 121510 model) to 4.2 + L/200 µm (for the 153512 model), verified using certified step gauges and laser interferometers traceable to national standards.
Does the system support multi-sensor configurations?
Yes—AC-DMIS natively supports switching between tactile probes (PH10M, TP20), optical line scanners, and vision modules without hardware modification, provided appropriate mounting interfaces are installed.
Is the SB CNC controller compatible with third-party metrology software?
The controller operates exclusively with AC-DMIS; however, raw coordinate data (XYZIJK, feature results) can be exported via ASCII, CSV, or DMIS output for integration into external SPC or PLM platforms.
Can the machine operate in non-climate-controlled environments?
While optimal performance is achieved at 20 ± 1 °C per ISO 10360, the all-granite structure and symmetric thermal design allow stable operation within 15–25 °C ambient ranges, with compensated error mapping applied in software.
What maintenance intervals are recommended for air bearing systems?
Air filters require replacement every 6 months under continuous operation; compressed air supply must meet ISO 8573-1 Class 2:2:2 specifications (dew point ≤ –40 °C, particle size ≤ 0.1 µm, oil content ≤ 0.01 mg/m³).
