Milwaukee Machine Works (MMW) has purchased a Leitz PMM-G coordinate measuring machine from Hexagon Metrology Inc. The machine will support MMW's wind power manufacturing operations.
The PMM-G is a gantry configuration machine that allows large-scale parts (up to 30,000 pounds) to be moved for precision measurement. It is specifically designed to enable ultra-precise measurements for case, cover and housing parts, such as those used in wind power applications.
