Supersize Metris CMM installed at Biesse Wood Division, a department of Biesse Group in Italy

With a measurement volume of 24 cube meters, one of the largest Metris C3 bridge type CMMs ever is currently being installed at Biesse Wood Division in Pesaro, a department of Biesse Group in Italy. Biesse Wood Division deploys this brand new supersize CMM to perform geometrical inspection of prototype and production parts and assemblies of woodworking machinery. The company’s manufacturing machinery for working furnitures includes CNC machining centers as well as equipment for edgebanding, sanding, calibration, sawing and handling.

The granite loads table of this 10-ton bridge CMM provides a 8 x 2 x 1.5 meter measurement volume that conveniently fits a series of mechanical assemblies or a very large piece of furniture machining equipment. Accurate geometric inspection of woodworking machining parts is essential in obtaining high quality furniture products. In the past, Biesse Wood Division used a horizontal measuring machine that became insufficiently accurate to reliably inspect the geometric quality of such mechanical parts.

The increasing demand for high quality products and cost effective manufacturing was the key driver to upgrade their metrology facilities with

Biesse

this new supersize Metris C3 bridge CMM. To combine metrology level inspection capability and high measurement productivity, it features high acceleration, low cycle times, high accuracy and excellent repeatability. The Metris C3 bridge CMM is equipped with 0.5 micron resolution scales, aluminum Y and Z guide ways along with air bearings on all axes. The system is supplied with standard Metris software and controllers, and equipped with touch trigger probes.

“We carefully looked into different suppliers and the Metris C3 bridge CMM provided the best match in term of size, performance, customization and budget,” says Luciano Pardini, Manager of the Quality department at Biesse Group. "We are confident that this large scale Metris CMM will contribute to increasing manufacturing quality and productivity of our machinery for working furnitures.”
