The ALTERA C HA Series represents a significant leap in the precision capabilities of the already impressive ALTERA C range from LK Metrology. Designed for applications where accuracy is non-negotiable, the HA (High Accuracy) version boasts substantial improvements in volumetric accuracy, repeatability, and tactile scanning performance.
Elevated accuracy for demanding applications
The ALTERA C HA version offers a 16% higher volumetric accuracy compared to the standard ALTERA C, with figures starting at 1.3+L/350.
Repeatability has been enhanced by 13%, starting from an exceptional 0.0013 mm.
Tactile scanning accuracy sees a 50% improvement, beginning at 0.002 mm, setting a new standard for precision in compact CMMs.
Design and engineering excellence
Focused design improvements have led to a 17% increase in bridge stiffness, thanks to a new main leg design informed by finite element analysis (FEA). This enhancement ensures unparalleled structural integrity and measurement consistency.
Such advancements underscore LK Metrology’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge engineering techniques to elevate metrological performance.
Model availability and probing options
The ALTERA C HA mirrors the model sizes of the standard ALTERA C range, maintaining versatility across a wide spectrum of measurement tasks.
Users can choose between PH10M or PH10T probe heads, TP200 touch probe, and/or SP25M scanning probe. For those requiring advanced surface detail capture, laser scanning is also an option, broadening the scope of applications.
Application across industries
With its enhanced accuracy and stiffness, the ALTERA C HA Series is particularly suited for sectors with stringent metrological requirements, including aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing.
Its robust design and advanced probing capabilities make it an ideal choice for precision engineering tasks, from complex component analysis to intricate design verification.
