Shop Floor and Special Application Coordinate Measuring Machines

Helmel Engineering is engaged in the design, manufacture, sales and service of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and related software.

They are built mainly for the manufacturing industry in the automotive, aerospace and business machine sector and for tool and die shops, moldmakers, machine and fabricating shops, stamping houses, etc.

Practically anyone having to verify a physical part to dimensions on a blueprint to a high degree of accuracy is a potential customer.

A complete line of Bridge style machines are offered for manual and automatic operation.

Our proprietary mechanical bearing system makes our machines well suited for production floor applications where high reliability is required.

We handle the following options:

CheckMaster - Coordinate Measuring Machine

The compact Checkmaster is an ideal benchtop CMM for the lab or shop floor. Hardened steel shapes and steel scales on steel frames offer uniform linear expansion that minimizes thermal errors...

Microgage -

Coordinate Measuring Machine

Until Microgage, the cost of this level of 3D precision has been 3 to 10 times higher, and the options have been limited to much larger machines. The need for the highest precision is often found in the smallest parts, however there has been no choice but to purchase a relatively large CMM for these tasks, wasting valuable space and money...

Axium - High Precision 4-Axiz Shaft Measuring Machine

The Helmel Axium Shaft Measuring Machine has been developed to provide accurate and automatic dimensional measurements of cylindrical and shaft-like fabricated parts. The system is hardened for use in production and on the factory floor, and requires minimal training for non-metrology employees...

Microstar

The Microstar is built on a substantial granite base for stability. The moving bridge construction provides the greatest flexibility for part access, accuracy and structural integrity at a reasonable price...

Sample Preparation Moulds

Compact, non-polluting, low noise and handy machines for surface preparation of ferrous and non-ferrous metal samples.

These machines have an auto grit-collection system and can grind sparking electrodes concentrically and with the desired cone angle.

A range of sample preparation moulds are available for sampling from the furnace/ladle.

The choice of mould depends on the molten metal to be sampled.

Benefits:

Standard Method for Sampling.
Homogeneous sample for Precise & Accurate results.
Wastage reduction of costly raw material.
Low cycle time (see above).
Easy and Effective.
Made of Oxygen free high purity Copper and Hot Die Steel.
Estimated Life of 10,000 Samples – subject to proper use as per recommended practice.
