Leitz Reference Flexibility

Leitz Reference Flexibility builds upon the capabilities of the Precision configuration to boost the machine’s adaptability to more challenging measurement tasks and decrease cycle time.

The CMM has an articulating probe head that measures at any angle to add accessibility to complex 3D part geometries. In addition, the SENMATION sensor automation system increases measurement flexibility by seamlessly integrating a variety of tactile and optical sensors within one measurement routine to address multi-part or multi-feature applications.

Application challenges
  • Highly accurate measurement of the most complex geometries with decreased cycle time
  • Large variety of parts with different measurement requirements
  • Complex 3D geometries with tight tolerances
  • Functional size and form features in hard-to-access spatial orientations around the part
  • Various material types and surface characteristics
Leitz Reference Flexibility benefits
  • High-throughput and versatile multisensor measurements
  • Easy access to complex workpieces with a motorised indexing probe head
  • Extended application adaptability and future‑readiness with the SENMATION sensor automation system
  • Non-contact measurements with chromatic white light, interferometric and laser scanning sensors
  • Simultaneous 4-axis scanning – optical or tactile – in combination with a rotary table
Features & Benefits
Leitz Reference Precision combines high accuracy and precision with outstanding high-speed scanning capabilities.
The model’s fixed scanning head ensures high, repeatable accuracy even with extra-long probe extensions and heavy styli clusters. This enables users to use high-accuracy scanning across a broader range of measurement applications, including inspecting features deep within parts. 
In addition, a modular sensor and styli changer rack enables the selection of the best styli options for each application.
Sturdy mechanical design
The solid granite base with integrated dovetail guide guarantees long‑term system stability and consistent accuracy over the entire measurement volume.
Bridge with triangular crossbeam
Featuring an improved stiffness-to-mass ratio relative to square or rectangular traverses, this design allows for the highest dynamics and high‑speed measurements.
Preloaded air bearings on all axes
Contactless, low-friction and low-wear axis motion ensures fast and repeatable positioning at all speeds and accelerations, resulting in low measuring uncertainties.
Temperature compensation
Real‑time compensation of thermally caused measurement deviations through temperature sensing at the scales and on the workpiece ensures reliable measurement results.
Extended temperature operating range (option)
Measure your components with more resistance to environmental influences. An extended temperature operating range (15 - 30°C) allows the CMM to operate closer to the production line without needing a costly climate room.
Real-time environmental monitoring (option)
PULSE enables the user to monitor and log any environmental conditions surrounding the CMM and receive real‑time machine information.
Eco Mode
Eco Mode supports sustainability and productivity goals by automatically powering down the CMM when idle, which improves energy efficiency while keeping the machine ready to go.
Low-maintenance belt drive system
Flat and V-ribbed belts ensure smooth and low-vibration axis motion. 
Future-ready concept
The future‑ready pre‑cabling enables easy adaptation of the CMMs to future measurement tasks without costly downtime. A range of adaptability options can be flexibly selected during initial CMM configuration or set up later as upgrades. 
Multisensor versatility
Using the widest range of tactile and optical sensors with Hexagon’s universal sensor interface, the CMM becomes a multisensor inspection device that can adapt to the most complex measuring tasks. 
Messaging lights (option)
Messaging lights give operators the ability to monitor the machine’s status even from a distance, to optimise time and resource management.
High-speed and safety
Continuous monitoring of a defined safety area around the CMM allows worry-free high-speed measurement in CNC mode. The machine will slow down automatically when the user or an object encroaches upon the protected area.
