Automation equipment manufacturer and metrology company join forces

Robotic machine tool tending cells manufactured by Halter CNC Automation, which are sold into the UK market by Salisbury-based 1st Machine Tool Accessories, are being offered with the integration of a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) from Mitutoyo. It follows the automation company’s philosophy of extending its robot cells with additional functionalities.

Mitutoyo CMMs are well suited for incorporation into Halter cells, although almost any make of measuring machine can be supplied to suit a customer’s preference. Alternatively it is possible to network an existing CMM on the shop floor. All installations may be configured for 100 percent or sample inspection.
