Foreword
The TESA MH3D
™
Series Coordinate Measuring Machines represent the accu-
mulated experience of over 160 years in the design and manufacture of dimen-
sional measuring equipment. This experience, combined with many mechanical,
pneumatic, and electronic features, has produced a machine which meets the most
rigid requirements for the control of dimensional quality.
The MH3D is designed to meet production needs and to produce speedy, accurate
and economical verification of a variety of work pieces.
Imaginative engineering concepts make the MH3D a practical choice for small
shops as well as for large operations. Such innovative design as a completely
weight balanced structure and a fully supportive air bearing system allow the
attainment and maintenance of high accuracies. Combining these features with
the many optional accessories and software packages available, allows the most
difficult measurements to be performed on a time-saving production basis.
Since minor changes may be made periodically by TESA to improve machine
performance, some components of your particular system may differ from the
description in this manual. In such cases, supplementary information will be
furnished as needed.
This manual has been prepared to provide the proper procedures to be followed in
the installation, operation, and maintenance of the MH3D. Other manuals and
information are also provided where required.
CAUTION
This manual should be read in its entirety by all supervisory and
operating personnel prior to installation of the MH3D. This will
help to prevent human injuries as well as damage to the machine
components and will assure proper installation, operation and
maintenance.
