Among these is the recently introduced DuraMax which is made for the shopfloor and production, and recognises that everyday measurement tasks typically require several gauges, multi-location measuring devices and manual inspection equipment. Often when things change this can mean new investment is needed – DuraMax overcomes this need.

For use directly in the production environment, DuraMax benefits include:

• Measurement where you manufacture

• No measuring lab required

• Temperature stability up to +30ºC

• Seamless integration into production environment

• Scanning is standard

• Faster, more accurate, more reliable measuring

It also provides passive vibration damping, needs minimal space and is easy to set up.
