The best CMM value anywhere in the world....
designed for your shop.
Checkmaster Reliability
The compact Checkmaster is a bench top CMM ideal for lab or production floor. Hardened stainless steel ways and steel scales on steel structures offer uniform linear expansion minimizing thermal errors. The low cost means you can put competent inspection capability in multiple locations throughout your plant.
Intrinsic Accuracy
We test every CMM before it leaves the factory for repeatability and accuracy, that meets or exceeds the industry standards as defined in ANSI B89.4.1a-1998. Our testing includes a repeatability test that exceed a minimum of 150 cycles, often recording a total range of 2.0 µm (0.00008") or better! These stringent targets are maintained without the need for expensive software compensation maps. Our goal is to build the CMM mechanically correct that will deliver the results you expect, year-after-year.
Every Checkmaster is designed and packaged for fast and secure installation by the customer. All key components are protected during shipping by specially designed brackets, that when removed, ensures the CMM is ready for your first inspection.
The Ideal Scanning System
Not every reverse engineering job requires expensive motorized CMMs. The Checkmaster using the Geomet Junior software provides tools such as GeoTracer which allows you to capture large data data point clouds using low cost hard probes. Ideal for outline tracing!
Everything you want in a CMM.
Phoenix
The Phoenix line of CMMs offers two popular sizes to fit your quality inspection needs.
Building on decades of experience with shop floor Coordinate Measuring Machines, Helmel now offers the Phoenix... a heavy-duty, covered version of its popular Checkmaster. The Phoenix is made for harsh environments, with well-placed covers that prevent temperature shock. Its steel measuring scales on metal structures assure uniform expansion.
The Phoenix CMM incorporates all the time-proven features of its "big brother", the Microstar: hardened precision-ground ways, dual beam bridge with reliable V-and-Flat bearing arrangement and intrinsic accuracy. The latter is very important to reliably retain accuracy over time and reduce calibration cost. The Phoenix comes equipped with a full granite base and ergonomic stand.
The motorized system is outfitted with the powerful PMAC controller, the latest computer system and our proprietary GEOMET software, the best CMM package on the market.
An optional Renishaw UCC2 Controller can be ordered to enhance capabilities turning the Phoenix into a very powerful scanning system.
In 1973, when Helmel started, there were ten brands of CMM’s marketed in the U.S. of which 8 were domestic and 2 foreign. Meanwhile some companies closed their doors and some sold their CMM line or took them off the market. The sale of Brown & Sharpe in 2001 left Helmel as the only original U.S. CMM Manufacturer.
