PERCEPTRON INTRODUCES THE COORD3 BENCHMARK™ HYBRID CMM
EQUIPPED WITH LASER LINE SCANNER & TOUCH PROBE
Laser-Scanning CMM launched with Touch Software makes Coordinate Metrology Simple.
Plymouth, MI, March 19, 2015 - The COORD3 BENCHMARK™ CMM offers customers a high-performance costcompetitive CMM (coordinate measurement machine) with the added benefit of a small footprint. The unique ‘halfgantry’ advanced alloy design places its X and Y axis at the same level, providing increased rigidity and thermal stability.
The unit offers an outstanding metrology platform for high-accuracy small and medium part CMM inspection.

The ergonomic open structure of BENCHMARK CMM is ideal for the inspection of high-volume production parts or of
single-part inspection at the smaller manufacturing operations. Its compact size is ideal for production CMM or quality
room applications and fits through a standard-width door.
The full air-bearing BENCHMARK HYBRID CMM, with accuracy of 2.5 microns and a measuring volume of 600mm x
500mm x 440mm, comes equipped with both a Perceptron Laser Scanner and a Renishaw touch-probe. Following the
recent acquisition of COORD3 by Perceptron, the company’s Laser Line Scanning Sensor has been seamlessly integrated
into TouchDMIS™ software, allowing reverse engineering and dimensional inspection to be performed by the multisensor CMM.
The BENCHMARK is available in manual or CNC configurations. Manual units can be upgraded to full CNC in the field
at a later date, offering a two-phase investment in CMM technology. The Hybrid BENCHMARK is the ideal job shop
CMM.
Perceptron’s TouchDMIS, the ‘game-changing’ software for CMM usability, offers the world’s first all TOUCH CMM
software with full CAD capability with newly added point cloud handling capability. TouchDMIS requires just a few
hours of training and takes the ‘expert’ out of CMM measuring and programming. Perceptron’s CEO Jeff Armstrong
states “The introduction of this new product is a direct result of our recent acquisitions and is the first step in our plan to
offer a full range of coordinate measuring machines with intuitive, easy to use software and best in industry scanning
technology”.
