Coord3 Metrology Gantry Coordinate Measuring Machines
Inspecting large-scale components on the production floor means contending with thermal variation, structural vibration, and parts that need testing urgently, for safety reasons for example. The gantry coordinate measuring machine (CMM) you choose needs to hold accuracy across every metre of travel – not just on day one, but year after year.
Coord3’s Italian-engineered MCT gantry range is built for exactly that. Colonnade pillar architecture with leaf-spring thermal relief, pneumo-static bearings, and configurable Dual-Drive and Dual-Read systems deliver sustained measurement stability across volumes up to 20 metres – factory verified to ISO 10360.
Coord3 Range of Gantry CMMs
MCT-NT
The MCT-NT brings advanced material science to the gantry format.
A silicon carbide Z-spindle paired with a lightweight aluminium alloy Y-crossbeam delivers exceptional rigidity and thermal stability – without the penalty of high moving mass.
- Silicon carbide Z-spindle for superior stiffness and thermal resistance compared to standard aluminium or steel construction
- Dual-Read system on both X-spars maintains metrological performance across cross-sections up to 2 500 × 1 800 mm
- Compatible with tactile, scanning, and laser sensor configurations – including PH20, REVO, SP25ML, and Perceptron laser scanners

MCT-Starlight
Where the MCT-NT prioritises low moving mass, the MCT-Starlight shifts the balance toward structural rigidity for medium-to-large measurement volumes.
A proprietary tubular steel Y-crossbeam and stabilised steel X-beams provide the stiffness needed to maintain accuracy across wider cross-sections and longer spans.
- Tubular steel Y-crossbeam and stabilised steel X-beams with large cross-sections – designed for linear thermal expansion without inducing deformation
- Dual-Read X-axis with 0.1 µm linear transducers as standard, with Dual-Drive standard on Y-axis strokes of 3 000 mm and above
- Full multi-sensor probe compatibility – including PH20, REVO, SP25M, SP80, and automatic probe changing stations

MCT-PLUS
The heavyweight of the Coord3 gantry range – built for the largest industrial components where structural deformation during measurement is not an option.
Dual-Drive and Dual-Read systems on the stringers maintain metrological integrity across every axis of travel.
- Stabilised steel X-beams with large cross-sections and abutment support systems to accommodate linear thermal expansion without inducing stress or deformation
- Pinion and rack drive on both X and Y axes for precise, efficient movement of the heaviest gantry configurations
- 0.1 µm high-resolution linear transducers with integrated multi-sensor thermal compensation as standard
