Coord3 Metrology Bridge Coordinate Measuring Machines
Reliable measurement demands a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) engineered to perform beyond the controlled lab – where thermal variation, vibration, and production pressure test every component.
Coord3 Metrology’s Italian-engineered bridge CMMs deliver long-term dimensional stability through Finite Element Analysis (FEA)-optimised structures, granite surfaces, and optional silicon carbide construction – from compact QC rooms to high-throughput production floors.
Coord3 Range of Bridge CMMs
Benchmark
Compact, open-bridge CMM engineered for small workshops and QC rooms where space is limited but accuracy is not.
- Single-piece granite base with M8 checkerboard fixturing – rigid, thermally stable, and ready for modular setups
- Near-zero hysteresis friction reducers and passive vibration damping on all axes
- Manual or CNC operation, with a full on-site upgrade path as inspection requirements grow

Ares
Low-profile bridge CMM designed for laboratories and workshops where ceiling height restricts standard machine installation – with an optional low-section stand to reduce overall height by a further 100 mm.
- Ultra-rigid alloy frame with FEA-designed bridge girder for minimal deflection at accelerations up to 1 730 mm/s²
- Free access to the measurement area from all sides for efficient part loading
- Manual or CNC configuration, with a full on-site upgrade pat

Universal
Latest-generation bridge CMM built for high-dynamic 5-axis scanning – engineered for complex geometries including gears and gear wheels.
- Monolithic granite surface with pneumostatic pads and isostatic supports for rigidity without compromising dynamic response
- Carrier-scrolling optical scales (0.1 µm resolution) mounted independently from the substrate to eliminate deformation-induced error
- Hysteresis-free toothed belt drives on all axes – vector speeds up to 866 mm/s and acceleration up to 1 500 mm/s²

Kronos
Heavy-duty bridge CMM engineered for production environments – fully guarded structure with protective gussets for reliable operation beyond the controlled metrology room.
- Aluminium alloy moving carriage with integrated granite top for structural rigidity and thermal stability
- Mixed rack-and-pinion drive with hysteresis-free clutch system for smooth, repeatable positioning
- Multi-sensor automatic temperature compensation with part temperature probe – maintaining accuracy across varying shop-floor conditions
