Cordax Discovery II CMM

Originally introduced in 1997, Sheffield Measurement's Discovery coordinate measuring machine was designed from the ground up to be a shop floor machine. The current model Discovery II is the second generation of a machine that is being used on shop floors and quality labs around the world. Discovery II is so affordable and versatile that our customers often purchase more than one, so they can locate them where they are needed – from in-process inspection cells to quality labs to receiving inspection to R&D – anywhere a precision measuring tool is required.

In place of air bearings, Discovery II uses hardened machine tool recirculating ball bearings running at just a fraction of their rated load. This contributes to long life and lower maintenance costs in some of the harshest measurement environments imaginable.

Who wants to wait for results from the quality lab? Why not bring the quality lab right to the point of manufacture? Discovery II makes it possible.
