Universal high-precision measuring equipment | KNM C

Product catalog summary

Introduction
KAPP NILES Metrology GmbH presents the KNM C series, a range of universal high-precision measuring equipment designed for complex workpieces with diameters ranging from 500 mm to 1,600 mm. These machines are suitable for both stationary and transportable applications, offering ultimate form measurement capabilities for medium and large components.

Specifications
The KNM C series is a CNC-controlled 4-axis measuring equipment, capable of handling a wide range of parts including external and internal gears, as well as 3D measuring tasks on prismatic workpieces. It features highly accurate mechanics, a base plate and axes made of dark granite for consistent thermal conduct, and air bearing guide elements for smooth operation. The rotary table is equipped with air bearing and direct drive, and an optional integrated tailstock is available.

Key Features

High precision mechanics with excellent accessibility.
Vibration insulation through controlled air springs.
Generously sized guide cross-sections and large distances between bearing positions.
State-of-the-art drive technology using linear motors.
Measuring uncertainty as per DIN EN ISO10360: MPEE ≥ 0.6 + L/400, MPETHP ≥ 0.8.
