Hexagon Global Special Features & Benefits

Productivity is the driving force in all manufacturing industries, whether you’re working in the automotive, healthcare, energy, or aerospace sectors. Manufacturers and shop floor leaders need a CMM that delivers accuracy even in the most challenging conditions — they need the Hexagon GLOBAL.

There are several advantages to the Hexagon GLOBAL CMM. Learn more about the unique features and benefits that make this bridge CMM one of the leading models on the market today.

Accurate High-Speed Scanning

Its innovative vibration-reduction system guarantees measurement accuracy even during the high-speed scanning process. When combined with firmware and hardware solutions, the result is maximized throughput without loss of efficiency.

Automatic Power Saving and Air Saving Function

With its dynamic Eco-mode, the GLOBAL powers down automatically during periods of inactivity, while the Eco Mode+ puts compressed airflow on hold, saving energy and reducing operating costs.

Messaging Lights

With integrated LED alert lights, users can check the status of their machine even from a distance. This means the machine can be left unattended, optimizing your time and resources.

Improved Unknown Path Scanning

With the help of ScanPilot’s advanced firming algorithms, the GLOBAL CMM can scan complex, unknown profiles at an advanced speed, even when the part includes abrupt surface changes.

Choice of Sensors Up to 800 mm

The GLOBAL can be equipped for any sensor-based application, including tactile scanning sensors and tough trigger probes, with available extensions up to 800 mm for increased accessibility.

Advanced Software Options

Hexagon’s GLOBAL CMM is available with PC-DMIS software, which allows information to be captured and shared across all production stages seamlessly. This is one of the many innovative CMM softwares offered.

Machine Path Optimisation

With Hexagon’s Fly2Mode trajectory-control technology, the path between measurement points is instantly optimized and machine idle times are reduced, for a more efficient and streamlined CMM experience.

Auto Power Saving

Equipped with the powerful and effective Eco-mode, the Hexagon GLOBAL CMM will automatically power down during any inactivity, which increases energy efficiency without compromising the progress of the machine.

Variety of Sensors

Choose from a variety of CMM sensors to suit your measurement needs, including non-contact sensors. With additional tool changer options and probe extensions, you can experience its maximum accessibility.

Data Analysis

This CMM offers advanced statistical data analytics packages, offering a greater insight to control and optimize your manufacturing process and promptly rectify any issues.

Technologies Implemented

Compass

  • Reduced and compensate vibrations
  • Maintains its performance accuracy, even at the highest scanning speeds

Scan Pilot

  • Improves the robustness of undefined path scanning operations
  • Allows for greater scan speeds, better throughput and higher application range

Fly2 Mode

  • Glide smoothly through measurements
  • Depending on the application, Fly2 Mode can reduce the execution time of a measurement part program up to 5-6%

Eco Mode

  • Saves power by automatically powering down the CMM when it stands idle
  • Reduces machine operating cost with no impact on machine performance

Eco Mode+

  • Stops the flow of compressed air to the air bearings after a given time of machine inactivity
  • Reduces compressed air consumption by up to 90% and saves up to 25% of compressed air cost

Special Features

Throughput

  • Ideal for short measurement cycles without compromising accuracy.
  • Throughput is one of the primary productivity drivers found with this coordinate measuring machine and is maximized by combining firmware and hardware solutions.

Precision

  • Excellent for producing parts with complex geometries and tight tolerances that require the highest level of accuracy.
  • Hexagon’s GLOBAL CMM provides the accuracy manufacturers need to gather succinct data and fully optimize their production process without sacrificing efficiency.

Multi-Purpose

  • The optimal configuration for measuring parts with various features, material types and surface characteristics or producing a number of different workpieces.
  • The Multi-Purpose capability package transforms this CMM into a multi-sensor machine with the capacity to use contact and non-contact sensors in a single program.

Shop-Floor Capability

  • Bring inspection near line, at line or inline, closer to the point of production with reliable results even in changing temperatures.
  • With the Shop-Floor capability package, users can compensate for changing temperatures and provide protection from dirt and dust, which can compromise the machine’s handling.

Four Different Productivity Levels

Touch+

The GLOBAL Touch+ is a cost-effective solution for common shop measurement and inspection projects. Designed for the most basic inspection projects, this CMM system supports touch trigger probes and is designed to deliver superior performance in accuracy, speed, environment, reliability and ease of use. The Touch+ provides manufacturers with the best price-to-performance ratio.

Scan+

The GLOBAL Scan+ is the best solution for high-tolerance parts and more sophisticated measurement tasks.

General-purpose measurements of size and form features with high performance tactile scanning.

Optics

The GLOBAL Optics is the ultimate measurement solution. Optical high-resolution measurements of miniature size and form features on challenging surfaces.

Speed

High-throughput measurements of complete part surfaces with high measuring point density.

Global Performance Verification

Performance verification is an integral component of a bridge CMM and its operation. This document outlines the necessary risk controls and standards that must be met for the CMM to produce the accuracy and efficiency needed on a manufacturing floor.

Hexagon’s GLOBAL CMMs include a specific list of performance verification steps designed to measure the accuracy of the machine’s operations based on the set expectations from the manufacturer. These tests outline the machine’s capabilities and are a multi-step process that is integral to the success of any Hexagon GLOBAL CMM.

The current standard for CMM performance verification and accuracy testing is ISO10360 — specifically, ISO 10360-2 is used for machines measuring linear dimensions, while ISO 10360-5 is used for machines that incorporate multiple-stylus probing systems.

At CMMXYZ, we ensure our inventory of used Hexagon CMMs meets the highest verification standards for increased accuracy and unwavering performance on the shop floor.
