The performance of the DEA DELTA SLANT gantry coordinate measuring machines has been improved.The Z-axis sleeve is now manufactured out of silicon carbide, a material that combines very high stiffness with low mass and a very low coefficient of thermal expansion.

All models in the complete DELTA SLANT range will now have a structural multi-sensor temperature compensation system as standard. The DELTA SLANT configuration for workshop duties (SF Kit, Shop Floor) will be additionally provided with thermally insulated covers and forced-air circulation.

The further development of the  Hexagon DELTA SLANT series will considerably improve machine dynamics and measuring accuracy. As an example, the MPEE value – the figure that indicates the volumetric length deviation – for the new DELTA SLANT Performance 25.yy.15 is  4.2 + 3.8 L/1000 microns.
DELTA SLANT coordinate measuring machines now support all analogue, highly accurate Leitz scanning sensors – among them the latest LSP-X1 sensor.
