The TESA MICRO-HITE® 3D coordinate measuring system offered by Brown and Sharpe is an affordable high accuracy measuring instrument designed to fill the operational gap between precision hand-held measuring instruments and high end coordinate measuring machines.  To assure its high production standards, this advanced measuring system is produced at the TESA factory in Renens, Switzerland in a dedicated manufacturing cell.

Interactive TESA REFLEXTM software allows operators of all skill levels to perform complex inspection routines quickly and efficiently with little training.  The offset triangular bridge design provides a low center of gravity and optimum stiffness-to-mass ratio.  Air bearings ensure frictionless motion in all three axis.

The TESA MICRO-HITE 3D coordinate measuring system features a light alloy base fitted with a granite measuring table.  It is constructed from materials that have a similar coefficient of expansion to offset the effects of changes in ambient temperature conditions, making it equally suitable for the shop floor and the inspection laboratory.

All operations are controlled through an ergonomically positioned operator interface panel.  The patented ZmouseTM provides instant control of the measuring system from anywhere in the work envelope.

The TESA MICRO-HITE 3D coordinate measuring system comes equipped with either of two TESA 3D probes—the TESASTAR® Touch Trigger Probe or the TESASTAR-i® Indexable Probe.  This competitively priced three-axis measuring system is designed to fit any shop budget, and offers sophisticated measurement and inspection capability for any type of manufacturing operation.

The new Micro-Hite 3D is an ergonomic, easy to use manual CMM from Brown & Sharpe that offers high performance in an economical package.

Micro-Hite 3D is a versatile CMM that can be used for a variety of applications.  Highly suited as a stand-alone, walk-up station for first part inspection, facilitates setup for layout inspection and reduces tool setup.  Equipped with the optional PC-DMIS CAD upgrade, it can handle most reverse engineering tasks.  Its all-aluminum construction improves thermal, dimensional/torsional, and geometric machine stability.

Micro-Hite 3D’s optional fine adjustment is particularly useful for small features where a precision touch is required.  Thermally compatible materials and components minimize the influence of ambient temperature on measurement results, making the Micro-Hite 3D the perfect measuring system for virtually any application.

The Brown & Sharpe Micro-Hite® DCC, (Direct Computer Control) coordinate measuring machine is the perfect addition to any operation that requires additional inspection capacity or faster inspection cycle time.

The Micro-Hite DCC is a competitively priced, high speed, high accuracy, entry level automated measuring machine that can handle virtually any measurement and inspection application.  Use it as a walk-up station for first piece and layout inspection, for machine tool setup or as a flexible gage to control manufacturing processes.  Its 17" x 19" x 15.5" (440 mm x 490 mm x 390 mm) measuring volume accommodates 80 percent of parts manufactured today, making the Micro-Hite DCC a practical addition to any shop.

The Micro-Hite DCC incorporates an advanced belt drive system that gives it an acceleration five times faster than similar CMMs, reducing inspection cycle time to a fraction of that of higher priced machines.  Thermally compatible materials and components minimize the influence of ambient temperature on measurement results, making the Micro-Hite DCC the perfect measuring system for virtually any application.

Make your manufacturing operations more efficient with the affordable MICRO-HITE DCC.

Brown & Sharpe is pleased to re-introduce the Global® 5x5x5 size global machine in Classic and Performance packages, powered by PC-DMIS 4.0.

The Global® 5x5x5 is an extremely useful half-meter cube machine that fits many common parts, with 500mm of Z clearance to better fit a motorized head, such as the new low-profile TESASTAR-M.
