Fast, accurate and reliable, the Axiom too CNC CMM comes in four different sizes with Y axis travel up to 1200mm. The Axiom too range of shop floor CMMs can be used with touch trigger probe, continuous contact scanning probe or with Aberlink’s revolutionary non-contact camera system.
The all aluminium bridge structure not only ensures that the Axiom too has low inertia and high acceleration to get the job done quickly, but also that the temperature of the machine rapidly follows the temperature of the room, ideal when the CMM is not housed in a controlled environment. Temperature compensation in the software reports results as if they had been measured at 20°C/68°F
The Axiom too can be supplied with any Renishaw touch trigger probe and probe head. For more help selecting the right probe, view our probe head comparison table.

"When you're considering investing in a CMM, as a business, it's actually quite a difficult purchase – you can't make anything with it, but it does make you money indirectly. Without it, you can produce a part, but how do you know that it conforms to the customer’s drawing. It’s a huge benefit to our business as it gives the customer a feeling of reassurance."

"Now installed in a dedicated inspection room Paul comments: "The Axiom too CNC CMM and Aberlink 3D measurement software, with its graphical interface, is very easy to use. So much so that when our lead inspector was unfortunately unable to attend the training session, in just a few days he was able to pick up how to use the software from colleagues who did attend – an excellent demonstration of just how easy it is to use and how good the training was from Aberlink. In addition, due to the machine's accuracy we can now measure components to much tighter tolerances."

"Unlike the software of the other CMMs we considered, Aberlink's software was extremely easy to use, intuitive and logical. This simplicity shortened our CMM training time and meant that our operators became proficient very quickly. Aberlink 3D has many very useful features, for instance, when we perform an inspection routine using Aberlink 3D, an image of the measured component is automatically created on the computer screen. As the displayed dimensions between the measured features reflect those that appear on the component drawing, we are able to compare measurements as required."
