The Mitutoyo CRYSTA-Apex V PLUS is a specialized, shop-floor-optimized evolution of the standard CRYSTA-Apex V CMM, featuring an expanded guaranteed accuracy temperature range of 15°C to 30°C and an energy-saving "Air Reduction Function" for reduced operating costs. While both offer high-speed, high-accuracy scanning with ABS scales, the PLUS model focuses heavily on near-line, harsh-environment performance
standard CRYSTA-Apex V operates reliably with a high-accuracy range, but the PLUS series broadens this significantly, guaranteed to maintain accuracy between 15°C and 30°C, making it ideal for directly on the production floor, often eliminating the need for a fully climate-controlled inspection room.
PLUS series is specifically designed as "shop-floor ready," addressing the growing need for near-line measurement close to machining operations, whereas the standard V-series is often seen as a versatile, high-end laboratory or quality-room machine.
CMM inspection should not slow production. The Mitutoyo Automation Cell uses a palletized system and collaborative robot to automate part handling, measurement, reporting, and data flow on a CMM or other CNC inspection machines. Customers can choose individual modules or a complete turn-key system, with Mitutoyo serving as your one stop shop for installation, calibration, integration, and training
