  • High-specification bridge CMM for modern manufacturing: The Millennium Series Bridge CMM is a high-specification coordinate measuring machine developed to monitor the dimensional quality of manufactured components with speed, stability and accuracy. Its fully constrained design, combined with powerful servo drive units, allows rapid machine movement without compromising measurement integrity, making it well suited to demanding inspection routines.

  • ISO-verified performance you can trust:
    Performance is verified to ISO 10360-2, with UKAS-accredited certification referenced before and after delivery, giving users confidence in the machine’s verified measurement capability. This underpins the Millennium’s position as reliable, high-performance metrology equipment for quality-critical manufacturing environments.

  • Enclosed axes for shop floor-ready stability:
    A key strength of the Millennium design is its fully enclosed axes, which help prevent the ingress of foreign bodies while reducing the effect of temperature gradients on measurement performance. Combined with its non-error-mapped construction, the machine’s quoted specification is achieved through design and manufacturing quality rather than software correction.

  • UK-engineered bridge CMM with space-saving design:
    The Millennium also benefits from Eley Metrology’s engineering heritage, with a space-saving design, twin master beams with vee-flat guides and a wide range of available sizes to suit different inspection requirements. This gives manufacturers a bridge CMM platform that balances practical footprint, mechanical stability and long-term reliability.

  • Efficient batch inspection and one-button operation:
    The Millennium Series is designed to support efficient day-to-day CMM inspection through intelligent software and operator-focused control features. Batch menu loading, pallet loading and one-button operation simplify repetitive inspection tasks, while forward trajectory planning software helps minimise inspection cycle times and maintain smooth, continuous machine movement.

  • CAD-driven inspection and offline programming:
    Its comprehensive Windows software library supports CAD communication, graphical offline programming and reverse engineering workflows, enabling users to inspect components against nominal design data or create measurement routines away from the machine. This helps maximise machine uptime while supporting a broad range of dimensional inspection and measurement tasks.

  • Future-ready Renishaw controller and probe options:
    The machine is fitted with the latest Renishaw controller technology, allowing support for current and future probe options across a wide range of applications. Variable speed control on a shopfloor-hardened hand box controller also gives operators practical, responsive control in production and inspection settings.

  • Flexible performance for shop floor and standards room:
    Because the Millennium is suitable for both shop floor and standards room use, it offers flexibility for manufacturers who require accurate, repeatable CMM inspection across different working environments. Its combination of enclosed-axis protection, software capability and robust construction makes it a practical solution for modern quality assurance. processes.

  • Dimensional inspection of manufactured components in quality control and production environments.

  • High-accuracy bridge CMM measurement for both shop floor and standards room applications.

  • Repetitive inspection routines supported by batch loading, pallet loading and simplified one-button operation.
