Wenzel America Ltd.’s new series of improvements in their line of coordinate measuring machines, the manual X-Cite CMM System, has been overhauled with new hardware and a sleek new look that is guaranteed to impress those who are seeking a reliable CMM.

Hexagon Metrology’s Optiv® Classic 443 tp, the newest model in the Optiv Classic series, comes touch probe-ready and includes a high-resolution CCD (charge-coupled device) camera for multi-sensor applications with micro- to nano-scale precision measurement requirements.
