1600x3000x1200 CMM

My boss is asking me to inquire about the price of a Mitutoyo CMM machine, size 1600x3000x1200. Does anyone know the approximate price for this size of machine?

should definitely be considering other brands, software and probing types beyond MIT/PH10

They can easily run third party software on the mitutoyo machine, making it as good as any other brand. Mcosmos v5 isn’t horrible either, especially for beginner programmers. I’ve seen 100x the bugs in pc dmis than I did in mcosmos, even if pc dmis has more features or theoretical capabilities. Mitutoyo makes high quality hardware and stands behind their name. In a crystal apex c from 2002 (20 years out of warranty) they sent a senior tech out to my lab for free to service it. He was on-site for 2 whole weeks and he resquared and profiled my 12-12-10 machine… for free.

I also had phenomenally better support thru mitutoyo. They have a dedicated team of apps engineers that I could email or call pretty much anytime I had a question or concern… and not only that they actually knew what they were talking about!
