Truth S Bridge CMM
ISO 10360-2 | Non-Error Mapped | British Manufactured
Designed for accurate, high-resolution inspection of both geometric features and complex free-form contours, the Truth S Bridge CMM represents advanced coordinate measuring machine technology, combining high-speed continuous path scanning with conventional touch-trigger measurement in a single system.
- High-density scanning for richer data: The Truth S Bridge CMM is engineered to deliver highly detailed dimensional measurement by capturing thousands of data points in seconds during a continuous scanning cycle.
- Beyond point-to-point CMM inspection: Unlike conventional CMM inspection methods that rely on a limited number of touch points to calculate size, diameter or flatness, the Truth S measures form directly during the inspection process, enabling rapid evaluation of roundness, straightness and flatness with a far richer dataset.
- Precision-engineered bridge CMM construction: Its advanced electro-mechanical construction is supported by a highly developed software and control system, enabling accurate analysis of both regular and irregular component geometry. Precision vee-flat guideways are hand-finished to provide exceptional parallelism, straightness and flatness, while a kinematic mounting system supports mechanical stability and integrity throughout active scanning.
- Optimised structure for dynamic accuracy: A key differentiator of the Truth S is its independent Y-axis assembly, designed to minimise structural deformation caused by inertial forces during measurement. Combined with a mechanical design that removes the need for error mapping, this ensures that quoted performance is achieved through engineering and manufacturing excellence rather than software compensation.
- ISO-verified CMM performance and calibration: Verified and certified in accordance with ISO 10360-2, the international standard for coordinate measuring machines, the Truth S delivers high-performance CMM inspection backed by recognised calibration and verification standards.
Continuous path contour scanning: The Truth-S Bridge CMM is designed to scan regular and irregular contours in one continuous operation, collecting dense measurement data for more complete component analysis.
Combined scanning and touch-trigger measurement: This makes it highly effective for evaluating form, profile and surface condition, while also retaining the flexibility to carry out conventional touch-trigger measurement where required.
CAD comparison and reverse engineering workflows: The system can compare measured results directly to CAD files or determine unknown shapes for reverse engineering workflows.
Components containing both standard geometric features and complex free-form contours can therefore be inspected within the same measurement routine, improving efficiency and reducing the need for multiple inspection systems.
Advanced CMM software and graphical reporting: Powerful software enables graphical dimensional outputs in selected formats, with best-fit solutions used to calculate offsets and rotations for clearer assessment of component acceptability.
Form deviations and dimensional errors can also be exaggerated graphically to give operators and engineers a clearer understanding of where issues exist, while batch loading and offline programming help maximise throughput and machine uptime.
Flexible Renishaw scanning probe configurations:
The Truth-S can be configured with Renishaw SP600, SP25 and SP80 probe technology, together with the latest Renishaw controller, to support precise and reliable data collection across a wide range of inspection requirements.
Continuous path scanning of regular and irregular contours for high-resolution dimensional inspection.

Industries Used In - Truth S CMM -
Precision Engineering
Scanning and probing precision‑machined parts to capture thousands of data points on planes, cylinders and complex profiles in a single automatic routine.
Precision engineering companies use Truth S to assess roundness, straightness and flatness, run full GD&T checks, and compare components directly to CAD models for capability and process control.
Automotive
Inspecting engine, transmission and chassis components where both prismatic features and freeform surfaces need rapid, repeatable verification.
Automotive manufacturers use Truth S bridge CMMs to scan bores, sealing faces and complex housings in one continuous operation, reducing gauge dependence and speeding up batch inspection.
Aerospace
Measuring turbine blades, airframe brackets and structural components with a mix of geometric features and freeform contours.
Aerospace manufacturers rely on Truth S continuous‑path scanning to capture detailed edge and surface data on blades and critical profiles, supporting tight GD&T requirements and traceable certification.
Tool, Die, & Mould Manufacturing
Scanning mould cavities, dies and form tools to verify profile accuracy, detect wear and generate data for tool correction.
Tool and mould shops use Truth S to collect dense point clouds over complex shapes and then apply best‑fit and deviation plots, enabling fast tool try‑out, optimisation and documented quality control.
Reverse Engineering & Advanced Manufacturing
Digitising existing parts and complex surfaces to create or update CAD models, including unknown or legacy geometries.
Companies involved in reverse engineering and advanced manufacturing use Truth S to scan irregular shapes and generate reverse‑engineered CAD files, combining conventional probing and high‑speed scanning in one CMM.
