2007 Brown & Sharpe Global Performance 5-5-5 CMM

The Brown & Sharpe Global Performance 5-5-5 is a granite-table bridge coordinate measuring machine from the line that made Brown & Sharpe a fixture in machine shops, tool rooms, and quality labs. This 2007 unit measures in three axes with 19.68" travels in X, Y, and Z - a 500 mm measuring cube - working over a 39" x 30" granite surface plate with room for real fixturing rather than single small parts. Inspection runs on PC-DMIS 2020, the CAD-based measurement platform Hexagon still ships today, so part programs, GD&T callouts, and report templates built on current PC-DMIS move onto this machine instead of being rewritten. Probing is a TesaStar motorized probe head driven through a TESASTAR-ae controller, with a Renishaw PI 200 probe interface alongside it - indexable head articulation for awkward features, plus compatibility with Renishaw touch-trigger probes and the styli inventory most shops already own. The operator workstation comes with it - monitor, keyboard, and mouse on a mobile inspection desk - and the nameplate calls for 120 V single-phase power, so it does not need a three-phase drop or a step-down transformer to come online.

Within the same Brown & Sharpe family, the Performance tier sits above the entry-level Global Image and the all-purpose Global Classic, and it is a full generation past the MicroXcel and Xcel bridge CMMs that preceded the Global series. Those earlier machines were tied to proprietary legacy measurement software and fixed probe configurations; a Global Performance running PC-DMIS 2020 with a motorized indexing head and a Renishaw interface reads native CAD models, produces reports quality engineers and customers accept without translation, and takes probes and styli you can still buy new. For a shop retiring an aging Xcel, or bringing inspection in-house for the first time, that is the difference between a machine that takes a measurement and a machine that documents a part.

About This Machine

Every first article you ship out to a third-party lab is margin and lead time walking out your door - this Brown & Sharpe Global Performance 5-5-5 brings a 19.68" measuring cube, a TesaStar motorized probe head, and PC-DMIS 2020 onto your own inspection floor. It is a granite-bedded bridge CMM built by Brown & Sharpe in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, and it comes with its probe interface and operator workstation already in place, so your team goes from setup to a repeatable inspection program instead of standing up a metrology lab from scratch.
