Why Manufacturers Choose PeakMerit
Direct-Manufacturer Value With Complete Configuration Support
Lower total system cost without sacrificing required measurement capability
Shortlist the machine class around the tolerance target instead of overspending on unused capability.
Match the accuracy class to the tolerance, not the most expensive machine
Define the tolerance, select the accuracy class, and pay for the machine class the application needs.
Pisces, Polaris, Gemini, Libra, Aries, and Taurus each solve a different inspection problem
Machine families are positioned by part size, capacity, accuracy, throughput, and duty level.
Machine + probe + controller + rack + joystick + acceptance planning
PeakMerit treats the CMM as a complete measurement system, not only a machine frame.
Selection starts from part envelope, tolerance, throughput, and environment
Quote planning begins with the application conditions that decide accuracy class and travel size.
U.S.-based commercial contact with direct technical coordination
Manufacturers and distributors get a clear contact path for model positioning and project review.
Applications
Built for Manufacturing and Quality Teams
Select the machine and probing stack around the part, production environment, and inspection workflow.
Machined Parts Inspection
For small and medium machined rings, housings, brackets, turned parts, and supplier components needing reliable dimensional inspection.
Choose this path when routine dimensional checks, incoming QC, and repeatable measurement programs matter more than ultra-high precision or scanning density.
Suggested
- Pisces for lower-tolerance parts, incoming QC, and first automated CMM projects.
- Polaris / Gemini for tighter machining work, larger parts, or higher inspection capability.
Automotive Components
For engine blocks, transmission housings, castings, brackets, fixtures, and production quality checks.
Choose this path when fixtures, castings, and production parts need repeatable QC with practical throughput.
Suggested
- Polaris / Gemini for most automotive components.
- Pisces for lower-tolerance incoming inspection or smaller supplier parts.
- Taurus for oversized tooling, fixtures, or large structures.
Aerospace and Large Parts
For aircraft structures, tooling fixtures, turbine cases, and large high-value parts where part envelope, fixture size, or loading method can exceed standard bridge CMM travel.
Choose this path when the inspection project requires large travel, foundation planning, loading-route review, or project-specific gantry configuration.
Suggested
- Taurus for large structures and tooling.
- Gemini / Libra for smaller high-precision aerospace components in controlled environments.
Mold and Die Measurement
For mold cavities, die blocks, precision tooling, and complex contours where scanning repeatability and surface/profile data matter.
Choose this path when profile, contour, and surface data are important to tool qualification, rework decisions, or high-value precision parts.
Suggested
- Gemini / Libra
- Polaris when the application is general tooling inspection and the tolerance target allows a value bridge platform.
Quality Labs
For temperature-controlled inspection of tight-tolerance medical, aerospace, and precision parts.
Choose this path when measurement uncertainty, repeatability, and controlled environmental conditions are more important than shop-floor feedback speed.
Suggested
- Gemini / Libra
Shop-Floor Inspection
For near-line checks of castings, fixture plates, and machined housings close to CNC cells.
Choose Aries when moving every part to a temperature-controlled metrology room slows production, and the tolerance allows near-line inspection.
Suggested
- Aries
- Pisces only when the priority is a low-cost bridge CMM in a controlled QC area rather than true shop-floor near-line inspection.
Probing and Controllers
Configure the Machine as a Measurement System
Pair the CMM platform with probe heads, scanning packages, controllers, racks, and retrofit options.
Touch-trigger modules
CF20 Probe Modules
Touch-trigger probe modules for routine dimensional point measurement, replacement workflows, and general CMM inspection tasks.
Motorized probe head
CZ10T-S Motorized Probe Head
Motorized probe head option for automated multi-angle access when part geometry requires repeatable probe orientation.
Scanning package
SC30 Scanning Probe Package
Scanning package for denser surface, profile, and contour data where compatible with the selected CMM, controller, and software workflow.
CMM controller
MACC3000 Controller
Controller option for new CMM builds and retrofit projects where motion control, joystick workflow, and serviceability need review.
Changing rack
LHCR20 Changing Rack
Changing rack for automated probe or module changes in multi-stylus inspection routines where compatible.
Fixturing and stylus accessories
Clamping Kit
Accessory kit for part holding, stylus setup, probe extensions, and repeatable inspection preparation.
