Since 1999, Euro-Techniek has available a SIP Orion 5. This measurement machine is still one of the most accurate available. At the end of last year we decided to renew the control by the company Hexagon. Eventually, this has resulted in a complete retrofit of our SIP Orion 5 coordinate measuring machine with a Leitz B4-controller and a Leitz probehead LSP-X3. (Accuracy E₃ = 0.8 + L/800 µm)
