Stiefelmayer-Messtechnik is a leading producer of horizontal arm measuring machines. Our systems are designed for layout tasks, manual measuring as well as complex CNC measuring procedures.
We see ourselves as providers for tailor-made solutions. We therefore offer a large range of machine systems and equipment options. This includes well-designed software systems, field-proven equipment and sensor technology as well as an experienced and reliable service.
Here are some typical applications for STIEFELMAYER horizontal arm machines:


ACTURA - Cost Effective and Highly Flexible
Our system ACTURA is an attractive solution for manual measuring and marking-out tasks: This includes the measurement of large single parts, the marking of workpieces and clay design models as well as the dimensional inspection of devices and parts.
Upgrade solution - new ACTURA on existing measuring plates:Our ACTURA machines are fully compatible with older measuring plates "system B" or ACTURA. It is also possible to set up ACTURA machines on existing VENTURA guiding systems. For former "Stenzel" machines we also offer an exchange concept. Thus you can equip your existing measuring plate with a new ACTURA manual machine without having to make any changes on the plate or on the floor.
Further advantages:

FUTURA Measuring Machines:
Manual, motorised or CNC operation.
The measuring machine FUTURA is featured by the X-axis guiding system which is screwed to the side of the measuring plate. Available in many variations, FUTURA machines are real "allrounders" for any metrology tasks.
FUTURA measuring machines are available in manual, motorised or CNC version, with disengageable drives for combined manual / CNC operation, as one-column or duplex solution.
Advantages

VENTURA Horizontal Arm Machines:
Our Flagship CMMs
With the measuring machines family VENTURA and VENTURA CNC you get to know the flagships of our measuring machine programme:
Robust, high-precision horizontal-arm measuring machines, insensitive to dirt, with an X-axis guideway which is integrated in the measuring plate.
VENTURA measuring machines are available in manual, motorised or CNC controlled versions, as singlecolumn or multi-column machines.
As a standard we equip our machines with a very robust and dirt resistant magnetic measuring system. Renishaw incident light measuring systems are available on request.
Special Features:
Available as Manual/motorised and CNC
The manual and motorised VENTURA CMMs are perfectly suited for continuous use in workshop conditions. The X axis guides and the measuring system are both concealed and thus protected against dust and dirt.
Our flush-with-floor system VENTURA CNC is perfectly fitted for permanent use under tough working conditions. Only permanent use guarantees efficiency and productivity – and ensures a profitable return of investment.

VENTURA DESIGN Horizontal Arm Machine:
Marking. Measuring. Milling.
Beside inventiveness, imagination, experience and craftsmanship, the modelling and design process also requires an efficient technical equipment - to implement objectives quickly and to make ideas come true.
Thus, with VENTURA DESIGN we complement our well-proven manual measuring and lay-out technology by a CNC milling option - in a single machine.
The VENTURA DESIGN features an exchangeable measuring head which is attached to the traversing arm and enables the quick change between measuring and milling operation.
If you do not want to make the decision for a combination machine with milling head yet, but want to keep the option open for the future – no problem.
In line with our concept of modular retrofitting we will equip you with a basic machine which you can have retrofitted as combination milling machine directly at your site at any time.

MILLING RETROFIT:
INCREASE PERFORMANCE AND VALUE
You have a proven measuring machine in your studio and would like to enhance its range of functions?
We offer retrofits on existing CMMs (Stiefelmayer/Zeiss and selected other brands) for expansion to clay milling functionality.
This includes
* retrofit of controller and software
* complete overhaul of all drives
* new cabling of the entire machine
* additional mechanical stabilization of the CMM.
The result are machines as good as new, with enhanced functions and a technology upgrade to get them fit for the future.

owerINSPECT is suitable for fixed or tactile probes. PowerINSPECT is easy to use and provides full CAD support for manual and CNC measuring machines.
This Windows based package supports all established alignment strategies. The application is intuitive with simple menus and a clear graphical interface. Inspection reports can be created online or offline. The measuring results are visible in the program at any time.
Features of PowerINSPECT:
Hand-guided measurements have always guaranteed a very fast inspection and a high degree of flexibility, in particular for single parts and prototypes.
With the help of new digital opportunities, the previous disadvantages of manual measurement, e.g. in the area of reporting, are no longer an issue. Our new iPad application EASY Line ensures full mobile visualisation and easy handling of data.
EASY line clearly illustrates the set-up and the measuring operation - thus knowledge can be shared within the team.

The D-Count BT Box is suitable for use on hand-held and CNC/manually switchable measuring machines. It has a Bluetooth interface for wireless connection to the STIEFELMAYER EASY Line app.
Feel free to contact us - the new counter can be retrofitted to various machines from a wide range of manufacturers.

ClayMILL software is suitable for processing clay, foam and composites material. The software is used by design studios worldwide. ClayMILL provides common milling strategies (templates) by default and already parameterised.The software thus focuses on functions that are needed in the daily process. This reduces the necessary training effort to a minimum. In the background, ClayMILL reverts to the extremely powerful milling software PowerMILL (also from Autodesk).
ClayMILL consists of the following modules:ClayMill also ncludes a free-of-charge license for Fusion 360. Fusion 360 is a collaborative, cloud-enabled 3D CAD, CAM and CAE software. Fusion 360 is a perfect tool that connects the entire product development process into a single CAD/CAM/CAE cloud-based platform.
