COORDINATE MEASURING MACHINES
Top quality industrial measurement technology
The WENZEL range is based on this principle. Tactile, optical and scanning sensors are fundamental to 3D coordinate measuring technology. In sectors such as automotive, aircraft and mechanical engineering as well as in plastics and medical technology, WENZEL products not only offer precise and highly accurate standard coordinate measuring machines, but also customer-specific solutions.
The more complex the structures of the parts, components or products are, the more sophisticated and adaptable the appropriate measurement technology must be. The metrological verification of geometries and free-form surfaces requires suitable metrology solutions for the task. In addition to the external characteristics, at WENZEL we can make internal structures in detail measurable, visible and traceable using computer tomography-based 3D X-ray measurement technology.
IN USE EVERYWHERE
The RS is a good-value, mechanical bearing, horizontal arm CMM, side mounted onto an inherently stable base plate. RS generally does not need a foundation so can be easily installed into an existing room.
The RS is used for production related measurement of typical components such as individual vehicle components, assemblies, plastic parts and other large components.
RS machines are often installed as duplex or double arm, called RSD (where the arms oppose each other) to increase the measurement volume.
The RS can be equipped with the latest Renishaw probe systems including Renishaw PHS infinite positioning head, 3-axis scanning or touch trigger probe systems and the WENZEL optical sensors, SHAPETRACER and WM | LS 70.
RS is available in 2 accuracy levels – Standard and Premium depending on accuracy requirements.
CLEARING THE WAY FOR PRECISE RESULTS
RA is a good-value, mechanical bearing, horizontal arm CMM, top mounted onto an inherently stable base plate or runway. RA does need a foundation so the base plate or runway can be installed flush with the floor so as to make part loading easy.
RA machines are often installed as duplex or double arm (where the arms oppose each other) to increase the measurement volume. The system is then called RAD when installed on a base plate or RAFD when installed on a runway.
The RA is used for production related measurement of typical components such as car bodies, individual vehicle components, assemblies, plastic parts and other large components.
The RA can be equipped with the latest Renishaw probe systems including Renishaw PHS infinite positioning head, 3-axis scanning or touch trigger probe systems and the WENZEL optical sensors, SHAPETRACER and Die RA kann mit RENISHAW-Sensorsystemen wie z. B. PH10M, PHS (stufenlos), schaltenden Tastern sowie den optischen WENZEL-Sensoren SHAPETRACER und WM | LS 70 ausgerüstet werden.
RA is available in 2 accuracy levels – Standard and Premium depending on accuracy requirements.
HIGHEST DYNAMICS AND PRECISION
RAplus is a high-performance, mechanical bearing, horizontal arm CMM, top mounted onto an inherently stable base plate or runway. RAplus does need a foundation so the base plate or runway can be installed flush with the floor so as to make part loading easy.
RAplus machines are often installed as duplex or double arm (where the arms oppose each other) to increase the measurement volume. The system is then called RADplus when installed on a base plate or RAFDplus when installed on a runway.
The RAplus is used for production related measurement of typical components such as car bodies, individual vehicle components, assemblies, plastic parts and other large components.

PRECISION IN LARGE FORMAT
RAX is the latest CNC horizontal arm CMM from WENZEL and is specifically designed for the needs of the automotive industry. The RAX was designed especially for very precise measurement of large volume components, such as car and truck bodies. High rigidity and a superior drive system guarantee high precision measurement results. RAX does need a foundation so the base plate or runway can be installed flush with the floor so as to make part loading easy.
RAX machines are often installed as duplex or double arm (where the arms oppose each other) to increase the measurement volume.
The RAX can be equipped with the latest Renishaw probe systems including Renishaw PHS infinite positioning head, 3-axis scanning or touch trigger probe systems and the WENZEL optical sensors, SHAPETRACER and WM | LS 70.
THE PERFECT COMPLEMENT
The RUF under-floor measuring arm is the ideal complement to an RAD, RADplus or RAX duplex installation when difficult to access features need to be measured from below. The arm is available in manual or CNC versions. The measuring range depends on the RAD, RADplus or RAX machine that the RUF is combined with. The measuring arm points vertically upwards and can work individually or in a shared coordinate system with the arms above the floor, acting in a collision protected and synchronised manner.
The RUF is normally equipped with the Renishaw PH10M or MIH.
The exaCT U offers a simplified, cost-effective and fully automated workflow for the entire CT analysis process. Due to its high performance combined with a large measuring volume, the exaCT U enables the measurement and testing of large components with higher densities.
Due to intuitive user guidance, exact measurement results can be generated after a short training period. The exaCT U thinks along with you: Measurement parameters are automatically optimized by the system.
In its performance class, the exaCT U is one of the most compact computer tomographs on the market. It has five independent traversing axes and offers impressive resolution. Hardware and software offer the possibility of automated integration into the production line and deliver market-driven answers to questions about industry 4.0.
WENZEL was awarded the Customer Value Leadership Award 2017 from Frost & Sullivan for the exaCT U.
sCORE D is a 5-axis, optical CMM system which is ideal for measurement of small to medium turbine blades, medical implants or any other parts with similar characteristics of polished, reflective surfaces and sharp edges.
The characteristics above are measured with a unique, “Double-eye” sensor which ensures good point accessibility and even collects reliable data with the axis of the light beam up to 85ᵒ to the surface normal.
The new generation of CORE D has an automatic cover which closes during the measurement cycle ensuring perfect optical, thermal and clean conditions. The CORE D is shop-hardened, designed to be robot loaded and occupies a small footprint.
The CORE D can also be calibrated to ISO standards just like a CMM.
CORE M is a 6-axis, optical CMM system which is ideal for measurement of medium to the largest turbine or fan blades or any other parts with similar characteristics of polished, reflective surfaces and sharp edges.

WM | CT Analyzer is WENZEL's software for handling voxel data from CT systems.
WM | CT Analyzer imports volume data automatically from WENZEL exaCT® machines and calculates surfaces automatically, even for multi-materials.
In addition to the normal functions that are available in its sister product, WM | PointMaster, WM | CT Analyzer is also able to perform NDT functions such as testing for shrink holes and impurities, wall thickness analysis and segmentation and visualization of components in an assembly with different densities.
WM | Gear is a completely new software package for data acquisition and measurement of involute cylindrical gears on WENZEL coordinate measuring machines. Together with the WM | Gear Analyzer for evaluation and presentation of the measurement results, a complete package for quality determination of involute gears is available.
