Always ready to meet your measurement needs

The GLORY coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is a new generation of universal measuring machine. The system provides a highly configurable measurement platform that builds upon Hexagon’s innovative and advanced core technologies and nearly 30 years of experience in industrial metrology.

GLORY comes in two models – Touch and Scan – optimally configured to handle a wide variety of measurement tasks in their respective application classes. Users can choose the best solution for each application by leveraging various tactile and non-contact sensors in combination with a range of indexing probe heads. The CMM supports the fast changeover of measurement methods to meet different part and feature requirements.

GLORY CMMs run the market-leading and widely used metrology software PC-DMIS that offers optimised workflows for all types of measurement operations, making it easy and efficient to implement simple or complex measuring routines.

Advanced design for intelligent solutions

Carbide aluminium mechanical frame
The frame is surface hardened for extra rigidity. The lightness of aluminium, its good thermal conductivity and its adaptability to temperature changes provide the optimum material for a universal measuring system.

One-piece granite stage
The solid and stable granite table reduces vibration and supports smooth bridge movement.

Pneumatic balancing technology
The flexible suspension system avoids interference between axial movement and the drive train and ensures high positioning accuracy, smooth running and saves energy.

HEIDENHAIN scales
High-resolution encoder system, excellent measurement stability, repeatability and accuracy. Unaffected by interference, wear-resistant, stable and reliable.

Reinforced timing belts
Reinforced timing belts with built-in steel wire combine flexible engagement and rigid axial drive characteristics to ensure precise positioning and eliminate jitter during high-speed scanning.

Integral dovetail guides
Precision-machined integral dovetail guideways and pre-loaded air bearings in all axes ensure stable movement, accuracy, repeatability and long-term stability.

Messaging light
The multi-coloured LED signal light integrated into the top of the Z-axis allows users to monitor the CMM’s status in real-time, even from a distance, optimising time and resource management.

TRICISION bridge
An optimal structural rigidity provides higher accuracy, long-term stability and improved dynamic performance. The triangular crossbeam is structurally robust and less prone to deformation under stress, allowing for faster operation, a smaller footprint and better thermal stability.
