CARBstrato

The Mitutoyo CARBapex/CARBstrato Series 355-Car Body Measuring System CNC CMM are a cost-effective horizontal type, large CNC CMMs, and offer the world’s largest class measurement range with capacity up to 8 meters (26 feet) that makes it possible to measure car bodies. These CMMs are capable of interchanging contact and non-contact probes, millions of measurement points can be collected in a short time.

In the CARBstrato series, a single-arm system with one main unit and a dual-arm system with two main units installed are available. A four-arm system can also be made as an option. If a single item part is to be measured at high speed, the single-arm machine is optimal. If a body shell or a large part is to be measured at high speed, the dual-arm specification is optimal. In the dual-arm machine, both arms can share one workpiece coordinate system while the software performs an automatic interference check to prevent one arm colliding with the other. A dual-arm machine can be separated so as to operate independently as two single-arm machines if required.

High speed, high stability, and environmentally robust durability providing around-the-clock operation while delivering reliability and high accuracy
Backlash free mechanism X-axis drive and air bearings and a friction drive system for Y- and Z-axes minimizes vibrations during movement
The top of the base houses the X-axis protected with diamond steel plating for operator safety and accessibility to the parts being measured
A light-sensitive safety device installed in the Y-axis-arm bellows stops all movement immediately when the arm comes into contact with a workpiece, clamp or anything else during measurement providing optimal operator safety
Stable measurement results are achieved with continuous scanning probes (contact or noncontact type)
Implementation of 3-point support method maintains long-term accuracy independently of foundation deformation
Real-time CMM and workpiece temperature compensation (standard feature)
