The RAX is the latest CNC horizontal-arm measuring machine of Wenzel and is specifically designed for the needs of the automotive industry. The RAX was designed especially for the very precise measurement of large-volume components. High rigidity and a superior quality drive system guarantee high precision measurement results.
- Highest precision for large parts - Due to their special construction, the usable measuring range already begins just above the base plate, depending on the probe
system. With its very high Z-axis, the RAX has an extremely wide measuring range. High rigidity and an ideal drivability guarantee the highest possible precision. - Largest measuring range - The RAX has a wide measuring range up to 3100 mm on the Z-axis. Measurement begins just above the base plate, regardless of the mounting position of the probe. The mirror image construction of the measuring stand in a duplex version, allows optimal use of the X-axis measuring range.
- Varied equipment and applications - Mobile control units are optionally available for maximum flexibility and ergonomics. The familiar additional options for WENZEL CMMs, such as the online temperature compensation or active pneumatic vibration damping are also available for the new RAX.
- Integrated processing and controls unit - The mobile computer and control unit is thermally enclosed, so that the heat radiation of the equipment is safely discharged from the machine components. Their integration into the system design and the fitted system interface technology becomes a trend-setter for all types of sensors.
- Easy to maintain - Relevant system components such as controllers, computer and maintenance-related connections are easily accessible and integrated into the design of the system.
- High system efficiency - The use of wear-resistant and optimized components and machine elements as well as the fully automatic lubrication ensure a long lifetime of the machine even under high stress.
- Ergonomics in operation and equipping - Mobile control units and security options make the RAX a user-friendly and safe work equipment. The floor-level construction allows easy equipping of the system. In addition, barrier-free access is possible. This minimizes the time required for set-up and retooling of the machine.
- A motorised indexing head that mounts and re-orientates the probe repeatably to any one of 720 positions at 7.5° increments
- PH20 brings 5-axis measurement capability to touch-trigger applications on all sizes of CMM
- The revolutionary 5-axis probe system provides an extremely fast scanning speed solution with a high degree of measurement flexibility, and thus an extremely high throughput.
- Compact, module changing touch-trigger probe, which allows the use of a range of stylus configurations and extensions to access features on complex parts.
- Compact, module changing touch trigger probe particularly suitable for measuring tasks with tight dimensional tolerances for 3D free-form surfaces with longer styli.
- The most compact and versatile probe system for scanning on a global scale.
-
Passive probe, equipped with a high-resolution digital length measuring system (0.02 μm), which ensures outstanding measuring precision even when using long stylus inserts (up to 500 mm).
-
The 3D Line Scanner changes your coordinate measuring machine into the ideal machine to record and handle point clouds. Perfect for all who need to record and work on surfaces and outlines of physical objects.

Our philosophy when it comes a coordinate measuring machine is to eliminate as many avenues of inaccuracy as possible – before any measuring happens. Because we start with the intrinsic-accuracy of granite in each piece of metrology equipment we manufacture, your coordinate measuring machine then high accuracy built in. Starting with the most mechanically accurate structure for coordinate measuring means less error mapping to compensate for less than ideal materials.
