Winner of the 2024 Kings Award for Innovation!
True to Aberlink's heritage for innovation, the Extol is the world's first CMM to utilise a delta mechanism.
Designed for robustness and reliability, the Extol CMM will run around the clock making it ideal whether it is positioned next to a machine tool, in a manufacturing cell, or used in a dedicated inspection area.
Five temperature sensors monitoring both the machine and ambient temperature ensure that the Extol is capable operating in uncontrolled environments and reporting measurements as though they had been taken at 20°C. The software will also produce a warning should the temperature be changing at a rate that is not conducive with reasonable metrology practice.
Robust, accurate and reliable, the Extol CMM is the perfect solution to automatically verify part quality for critical components.
The ergonomics of the Extol have also been a significant design factor. It is not only quick and easy to perform one-off inspections, but also has ample access for either batch inspection or to facilitate automatic loading. With a larger measuring volume and smaller overall footprint than its predecessor, the Xtreme, the Extol can be positioned exactly where the measurement is needed.
The Extol can now be supplied with a SP25M scanning module, increasing inspection speed for complex parts and allowing even more functionallity for our most robust shop-floor CMM yet. Clever implementation and low profile mounting allows the probe to be switched between scanning and touch-probe effortlessly, giving you more freedom for your shop floor measurements.

"The ability to create a fully dimensioned inspection program in a matter of minutes, and the ability to measure multiple parts in a single setup was a light bulb moment. In addition to being easy-to-use, British designed and made, Aberlink’s transparent pricing policy was breath of fresh air – I could check their prices on their website before I took the enquiry any further."
