EMD's SCEPTRE™ System can upgrade almost any motorized make or model CMM -- turning it into a 3D continuous-contact or noncontact high-performance metrology machine.

SCEPTRE™ System is a complete upgrade package, featuring high-speed proportional displacement and vision probes and intuitive software -- providing 3D continuous-contact scanning, powerfully detailed graphic displays, and the ability to quickly gather vast amounts of data -- up to 300 points per second!

SCEPTRE™ System gives you full control of speed, direction, force, and data density. It also has a highly accurate point-to-point zero force mode, which factors in part deflection, and digital signal filters to eliminate machine vibrations.

With a SCEPTRE™ System upgrade, your CMM can quickly and accurately scan blades, cams, gears -- even end mills. It can perform reverse engineering wedded to CAD technologies and do batch runs.

All of this with performance an order of magnitude better than any touch-trigger CMM!

Upgrade that CMM now -- turn it into a state-of-the-art metrology machine having unmatched characteristics and continuous scanning capability -- at a price you can afford.

But don't take our word for it. Contact us for a demonstration or send us your toughest measuring problem. We guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised by the results!

The Facts About Upgrading To SCEPTRE™ System

  • EMD has upgraded CMMs made by 
    • Boice
    • Brown & Sharp
    • DEA
    • Federal
    • Leitz
    • LK
    • M&M
    • Mitutoyo
    • Moore
    • Poli
    • Sheffield
    • Shelton

  • SCEPTRE™ System can compensate for original machine errors, as well as those which have crept in over the years, without physically reworking machine guideways. SCEPTRE™ COMP is a simple, understandable, and very effective procedure that can be undertaken by the user at any time.
  • A SCEPTRE™ System upgrade includes a computer/controller and peripherals, the powerful SCEPTRE™ software package, and the patented 3D continuous-contact analog scanning probe. It also includes our continuous long-term support.
  • SCEPTRE™ System software is easy-to-learn, easy-to-use, and graphics intensive. It doesn't tell the operator what he must do. Instead, it lets him do what he wants to do, whether simple or complex, at any time.
  • SCEPTRE™ System software simplifies programming. Touch-trigger CMM software has one data point per command on a known part. A scanning CMM can have 32,000 points per command on an unknown part.
  • A non-contact vision probe with software is an available option. This turns your CMM into a system with completely seamless multi-sensor contact and non-contact scanning capability over the machine's full range.
  • SCEPTRE™ System's 3D contact and vision probes are adaptable to all makes and configurations of CMMs. They may be placed in any orientation, and can be used simultaneously. They are hard to break, yet easy to fix.
  • A SCEPTRE™ System upgrade is done on site. Your CMM never leaves the lab or shop.
  • A SCEPTRE™ System upgrade includes: installation, all hardware and software, complete documentation, training, full warranties, and unbeatable ongoing support.
