Bridge type CMM
The LK V range is more than capable of meeting the most demanding requirement for a first-class small to large scale metrology solution.
As with all LK high accuracy CMMs, the design is based around the unique usage of ceramic materials for the construction of the critical bridge and spindle components of the machine, coupled with proven air-bearing design, providing the ultimate in stiffness and stability to deliver significantly improved repeatability.

Horizontal Arm type CMM
THE FASTEST HIGH ACCURACY HORIZONTAL ARM CMM ON THE MARKET
The LK H premium range of horizontal arm CMMs provides unequalled performance in speed, accuracy and repeatability, continuing LK’s highly innovative approach to CMM design. The outstanding performance owes much to the ceramic guide-ways and air bearings used in the construction. Stability at high velocity and acceleration cannot be maintained using outdated materials such as steel or aluminium with mechanical bearings.
The LK H premium configuration provides unique access to the measuring envelope and can be supplied as sub-floor or floor level installations, or as part of a fully-automated FMS cell with automated component loading and environmental enclosures. Combined with our own 3D measuring software, Camio, the LK H Premium provides the complete inspection solution.
