Aberlink Azimuth

When it comes to building larger coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), it’s not as simple as just enlarging the design of smaller models. As the size increases, the structure must remain extremely stiff to ensure accurate measurements, but at the same time, the overall weight needs to be kept as low as possible to maintain performance and efficiency. That’s where the Azimuth CMM stands out. It is the largest CMM in Aberlink’s product range and represents the result of over 20 years of expertise in designing and manufacturing world-class metrology equipment.

The Azimuth combines advanced engineering with the latest material technologies to deliver exceptional accuracy, stability, and reliability—even at large sizes. This makes it a powerful solution for industries that require precise measurement of large components without compromising on performance.

Made In

Sizeable Performance

The Azimuth’s bridge uses lightweight aluminium honeycomb panels, originally developed for Formula One and aerospace. This gives the machine an excellent balance of strength and low weight, making it both fast and highly accurate for its size. Its drive systems are designed for simplicity and reliability, and the unique Y-axis system ensures consistent performance even on larger models, up to 3 meters.

Fully Loaded

Big machines need to measure heavy parts too, and Aberlink has found a smart solution. Instead of making the granite table thicker and heavier, they use a specially designed load plate that sits on the granite base. This plate can handle up to 6 tonnes, with the weight going straight through the machine’s feet to the floor—ensuring no impact on measurement accuracy.

Key Features: 

  • Capable of measuring parts up to 6000kg in weight
  • Fitted with 0.0001mm linear encoders for superior accuracy
  • Unique self-contained drive system ensures excellent performance over the entire measuring volume
  • Choice of Y axis sizes ranging from 2000mm to 3000mm
  • Supplied with the CMM touch screen joystick as standard
