Throughput, throughput, throughput. Dirt, tempera- ture effects and vibrations – the Leitz SIRIO SX is faced by REAL tough conditions on the shop floor. In the Leitz SIRIO SX the Hexagon Metrolo- gy engineers have created a machine combining high speeds with high accuracy in a harsh environment. Four-axis scanning The Leitz SIRIO SX is a true four-axis measuring machine. A horizontal arm with an infinitely positionable rotary table as the fourth scanning axis leads to considerably reduced measurement times per part. Fewer styli changes are necessary. In con- junction with the high overall dynamics of the machine, the Leitz SIRIO SX sets new standards here. Clever distribution of mass Dynamic mass is light, static mass is heavy. We have consistently implemented this principle. The high static overall mass with low centre of gravity gives the measu- ring machine stability as well as resistance to forces and vibrations. Technical ceramics for moving components This high-quality material combines dynamic, metrological and thermal properties. The X axis and Y traverse consist of technical ceramics and represent a new dimen- sion with respect to dynamics and accuracy in the production environment. Safety counts. Speed wins. Precision scores. 7
