GLOBAL S

Accurate High-Speed Scanning
Compass technology, available on the Chrome performance level, is an advanced vibration-reduction system which guarantees accuracy even during high-speed scanning. Combining hardware and firmware solutions, it enables you to maximise throughput without compromising on accuracy.

Improved Unknown Path Scanning
Thanks to the advanced firmware algorithms of Scan Pilot, GLOBAL S can scan the most complex unknown profiles at high speed, even on parts with abrupt changes of surface.

Machine Path Optimisation
The Fly2Mode trajectory-control technology automatically optimises the route between measurement points and reduces machine idle times. Program execution times can be reduced by up to 10%.

Automatic Power Saving
With Eco Mode, GLOBAL S automatically powers down to save electricity during periods of inactivity, improving energy efficiency but keeping the machine ready to go. Operating costs are reduced with no impact on throughput or performance.

Air Saving Function
Eco Mode+ reduces the cost of ownership by stopping the flow of compressed air after a period of inactivity. This function is available on the GLOBAL S CMM model together with Eco Mode, the energy saving function.

Messaging Lights
The GLOBAL S messaging light option integrates LED alert lights into the CMM so you can check machine status at a glance, even at a distance. This means the CMM can be left to measure, allowing you to optimise time and resource management.

Choice of Sensors
GLOBAL S can be equipped for any application with sensors including high-precision touch trigger probes, tactile scanning sensors and non-contact sensors, as well as tool changer options. Extensions of up to 800 mm are available on selected probes for maximum accessibility.

Advanced Software Options
GLOBAL S is available with PC-DMIS, which enables manufacturers to capture and share quality information seamlessly across the organisation and through all phases of production. For complex geometries or challenging data evaluation, QUINDOS offers the sophisticated toolset required by the advanced metrology users.

Enhanced Data Analysis
The Q-DAS software portfolio offers powerful packages for the statistical analysis of data captured by GLOBAL S and other measurement equipment, providing better insight to control the manufacturing process and alerting you to issues sooner. GLOBAL S is also compatible with HxGN SMART Quality.

Environmental Monitoring 
PULSE uses a network of sensors to provide real-time monitoring of conditions that could influence the quality of measured data, allowing faster remedial action. It records variations in temperature, humidity, vibrations as well as collisions and can send automatic alerts when an environmental condition threshold is breached.
