Aberlink CMM – Fulcrum

Accurate inspection right next to your machine tool
The Fulcrum is a groundbreaking manual CMM that features an innovative three-axis rotary design. Its compact, space-saving tabletop format makes it ideal for use directly on the shop floor, close to your machine tools — exactly where quick, accurate inspection is needed.
Engineered for real-time feedback during machining, the Fulcrum allows operators to inspect parts one operation at a time, minimizing errors and cost before reaching final inspection.
Aberlink has introduced a simplified interface for its powerful measurement software, tailored specifically for manual use. As you scan a part, key features are automatically identified and dimensions instantly displayed — no additional input required.
With its intuitive software and unique design, the Fulcrum enables users to begin measuring within minutes, even with no prior CMM experience. Whether for first-off checks, small batch inspections, or quick machine setups, it’s the ultimate tool for fast, on-the-spot measurement. The Fulcrum is simply the easiest CMM to learn and operate.
