Aberlink CMM – Extol

Limited to Switzerland

Next Generation of Shop Floor Hardened, Non-cartesian CMM

The Extol CMM is designed for robustness and reliability, running continuously around the clock. It’s ideal for use next to machine tools, within manufacturing cells, or in dedicated inspection areas.

Equipped with five temperature sensors monitoring both machine and ambient conditions, the Extol CMM ensures accurate measurements even in uncontrolled environments by compensating as if measurements were taken at 20°C. The software also alerts users if temperature changes occur too rapidly for reliable metrology.

Reliable, robust, and precise, the Extol CMM is the perfect automated solution to verify part quality for critical components.

  • Fully sealed recirculating cross-roller bearings provide excellent dirt immunity
  • Swiss-made DC motors combined with the advanced Deva motion control system ensure reliable performance on the shop floor
  • Super-smooth belt drives and precision linear bearings allow the use of long styli without false triggering caused by vibration
  • Automatic tool offset correction and automation options enable seamless integration into fully automated manufacturing cells
  • Aberlink’s revolutionary, easy-to-use measurement software simplifies operation
  • Shortest learning curve of any comparable system — operable within one day without prior CMM experience
  • Smallest overall footprint among shop floor CMMs of similar size
  • Industrial-grade joystick included as standard
  • Case study
