Speed and operability like never before

A revolutionary measuring system that defies conventional thinking.

The hybrid measuring system "FORMTRACER Avant Series" allows measurement of both contour and surface roughness. Endowed with "speed" enabling higher measurement efficiency, "operability" with automation and a wide variety of features, and "exandability" allowing the upgrade to a complex system by integrating a detector, this revolutionary measuring system defies conventional thinking.

"Speed-up" greatly reduces measurement time.

Boasting best-in-class drive speed, such as fast movement of drive unit and column, stroke (retraction) speed-up, etc. To meet the needs of the speed up on surface roughness measurements.

Speed and operability like never before

Formtracer Avant Features:

  • Easy, hot-swap detector replacement provides significant time saving and the advanced remote control box provides maximum ease of use with new function keys supporting fast creation of measurement part programs for maximum productivity.

  • Built-in capability of conversion from surface roughness and contour, or vice versa, offers a cost-effective upgrade path to cover present and future applications.

  • Adapts to an extensive array of measuring tasks, by retrofit, to offer excellent measurement flexibility using a very wide selection of optional accessories, such as an optional swivelling drive unit that eliminates the need for custom work-holding fixtures.

  • High drive speed and acceleration of the horizontal (X axis) and column (Z2 axis) movements combined with a reduction of non-measuring movement to a minimum aids productivity by reducing automatic cycle times.
Mitutoyo’s MiSTAR Features:
  • A guaranteed temperature accuracy range of 10 to 40ºC by combining technologies such as symmetric structure, uniform material and temperature compensation
  • Twice the contamination resistance of other conventional CMM's by implementing the newly developed Mitutoyo absolute scale* that is highly resistant to the challenging production line environment
    * Scale that provides an absolute value for each measurement point. This eliminates the need for a machine initialization operation
  • A single support moving bridge and a storage cabinet for machine controllers under the measuring table to save installation space. This has reduced the footprint to about 70% compared with that of the conventional moving bridge model
  • Three-sided open architecture making moving workpieces on and off the measuring table significantly easier and more user friendly, reducing operator’s workload
