Coordinate Measuring Machines
Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) measure the geometry of physical objects by sensing points on the surface of the object with a touch probe. They are commonly used in manufacturing processes to inspect a physical part or assembly against the design specification.
Bridge type CMM’s equipped with air bearings for frictionless movement are commonly used for inspection in quality control. Since air bearings are highly susceptible to contamination, these machines are not suitable for use in machine shop conditions. Therefore machines that are used in manufacturing environments are usually equipped with more robust mechanical bearings for increased resistance against contamination, without compromising on measuring accuracy. This also allows the CMM to be positioned exactly where it is needed, as they don’t have to be near an air supply.
Vision Engineering has moved shop floor CMM design forward with the new DELTRON, featuring a delta mechanism, and delivering a unique combination of compact dimensions, accurate measurement and ease of use.
Deltron
Designed for smaller machine shop/shopfloors where space is valuable. Deltron is a robust CNC CMM with a compact footprint, which can be used standalone, or integrated into a manufacturing cell. Featuring a delta mechanism instead of a Cartesian design, Deltron offers high levels of measurement accuracy and repeatability, and powerful yet easy-to-use software.

Vision Engineering has been leading the world with pioneering technology and award-winning innovations since 1958. In 2020 we were recognised by the Queen’s Award for Innovation, for our Lynx EVO high magnification, eyepiece-less stereo microscope. Now and in the years ahead, we will maintain an unswerving commitment to innovation, ergonomic design and improved user productivity.
The Vision Engineering advantage
Everything that we make is designed with ergonomics and ease of use in mind. It’s what sets us apart. We know that if a microscope can be used comfortably, the operator will be happier and more productive. Accuracy, speed and throughput are all improved with Vision Engineering’s unique ergonomic designs.
