Teledyne Brown Selects Large Wenzel


CMM to Measure Aerospace and Defense Components

Xspect has been selected by Teledyne Brown of Huntsville, Alabama to supply a Wenzel LH20.50.15 Scanning CMM. The All Granite CMM with measuring range of 2000mm x 5000mm x 1500mm was selected following a detailed analysis of offerings by a selection committee. The Wenzel Gantry style machine requires no foundation and will measure to an accuracy of 3 microns. The CMM design incorporates twindrive/twin scales on the Y axis to ensure the bridge does not ‘crab’ and its ‘high drive’ design ensures no bridge ‘sway’ or oscillation during rapid accelerations and decelerations. The order was secured by Xspect against stiff competition; Wenzel’s superior build quality and materials were recognized by the Teledyne selection committee. The machine is values at over $600,000.
