LK CMM Upgrades

CMM control hardware and programming software continue to develop at record pace. LK's latest control technology can be easily adapted to existing CMM's providing many of the new programming and inspection techniques at a fraction of new machine costs. By integrating LK's latest LK2000 DC motion controller or LK1000 manual interface, LK provides the ability to run any of LK's newest 32-bit Windows™ based inspection and statistical software. In many cases, your older CMM will have the functionality and programming flexibility of a new machine purchased today. LK's new Windows™ based inspection software runs on a PC NT or Windows™ based platform providing further compatibility with other software products. LK's retrofit experience is unmatched in the industry. LK has performed retrofits on most major brand CMM's spanning over 40 different models. As a world supplier, LK has performed CMM retrofits in 20+ different countries. Any CMM, irrespective of OEM, is a candidate for an LK retrofit. All retrofitted machines become our responsibility, and are fully supported and serviced after the retrofit. All upgrades offer a full warranty and programming training. Machine calibration can be performed using Parametric Error Correction to optimize machine performance.

Example Benefits of System Upgrades

  • New PC will have a faster CPU which will give a considerable increase in processing speed.
  • New system will have increased disk storage capacity for data collection and part programmes.
  • Full colour graphics with the potential for programming direct from CAD.
  • The new software is easier to use thus the creation of programs will be faster.
  • New software and processing speed should considerably shorten inspection times and a dramatic improvement in cycle times are typical.
  • The new controller provides axis optimisation (on CNC only) allowing vector optimum speeds.
  • Full machine parametric laser error mapping option which gives enhanced machine accuracy.
