The Cordax® Discovery CMM from Sheffield Measurement bas been adopted by hundreds of manufacturers around the world over the last decade and is the original shop floor CMM.  Discovery III is the next evolution of inspection at the point of manufacture and builds upon its predecessor’s many successes, featuring improved accuracy, extended thermal performance, and a modern updated industrial design.

In place of air bearings Discovery III uses hardened machine tool re-circulating 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 shop environments imaginable.  And with no need for air and a roll-around stand, Discovery III provides the ultimate in flexibility when it comes to shop floor layout.

The original Discovery created the ever increasing trend that has moved dimensional inspection out of the quality lab and onto the factory floor where results are needed fast.  Still affordable and now more capable than ever, Discovery III continues to answer the question:  Who wants to wait for results from the quality lab?  Why not bring the quality lab where it’s needed most?
