CNC West - What’s it like being back in person after a long time between shows.
Jeff Seliga - Face to face will never go away and is a part of our marketing arsenal. It’s good to get out and see customers and colleagues and grow our brand on the west coast.
Devon King - It is great to be back at Westec. Collaboration with people I haven’t seen in a long time is so nice. Getting in front of people from partners, customers and potential customers is fantastic. Plus we have the EquatorTM 500 gauging system in our booth to show off.

shop floor gauge aimed at larger parts like an engine casings or differential housings. It’s meant to go right out on the shop floor next to the machine tool. The EquatorTM 500 has 500mm in X and Y and up to 400mm in Z. The platform can handle parts over 200lbs. It is a bump up in size from our 300 series and has all the same features and accuracy.
We are also excited about the continued evolution of our REVO platform. Right now it is a 5 in 1 measurement system and growing. The 5 axis REVO 2 head does all the quick work while the 3 axis CMM rolls along at a reasonable speed. The removable probe system means you can go from one form of measurement to the next without changing machines and moving your part. So for example surface finish measurement and dimensional inspection can all be done from the same machine. It is a huge time saver, but also increases accuracy and repeatability.
