Sheffield Measurement Launches Endeavor 3 CMM Product Line
 NORTH
KINGSTOWN, RI, July 26, 2010 - Hexagon Metrology, Inc. today announced the
immediate availability of the Endeavor 3 CMM, the next generation of their
Endeavor CMM product line. This popular line of vertical coordinate
measuring machines introduces new sizes, additional models, improved sensor
support, and a boost in accuracy performance from the previous generation.
The Endeavor 3 is designed to address a wide range of dimensional
measurement requirements for the start-up manufacturer purchasing their
first coordinate measuring machine, to a large manufacturing operation
looking for multiple CMMs with a maximum price-to-performance ratio.
The new machine is precision manufactured at Hexagon Metrology’s headquarters
factory located in Rhode Island, and is checked and certified to meet the most
rigorous application test procedures required by B89 and ISO standards. Offered
in two models, the Endeavor 3 is suitable for touch trigger applications, while
the Endeavor 3 Plus is targeted at more demanding tactile and non-contact
scanning applications. The Endeavor 3 Plus offers extensive sensor support
including the Leitz LSP-X1 and LSP-X3 tactile scanning probes. In addition, the
Endeavor 3 Plus supports the CMM-V and CMM-Ve vision sensors, and the ScanShark
non-contact laser scanning sensor.
“The Endeavor 3 and Endeavor 3 Plus provide a great value for our customers,”
remarked Hexagon Metrology Product Manager, Eric Bennett. “We have expanded the
number and type of supported sensors, and now offer nine standard sizes ranging
from 5.5.5 up to 12.30.10. Top that with high performance, CAD capability, and
the improved accuracy needed for the ever increasing number of high-tolerance
parts. This next generation product line combines the versatility of tactile
scanning, non-contact scanning and optical imaging, while maintaining an
extremely attractive price point.”
