Explore the full range of
Starrett world-class CMMs.
Starrett has developed a complete new look to its
range of CMMs with unique construction and design
features that result in superb performance, even in
tough, uncontrolled environments.
With exceptional accuracy, speed and throughput,
Starrett machines offer the very best in price and
performance.
Base Machine Advantages: All Starrett CMMs are
similar in design, with emphasis placed on stability,
accuracy and speed. Because we manufacture our own
granite, we utilize its unmatched vibration damping
qualities, thermal stability and compressive strength to
the fullest in our machine design. We use a granite plate
as the base reference plane and have also developed a
unique, patented, hollow granite bridge design and a
ceramic Z-axis. Ceramic also has the strength, stability
and similar thermal characteristics of granite. This
granite-ceramic design combination has a weight similar
to aluminum which is used in many other competitive
machines, but it does not have the "shimmy, shake
and thermal instability problems" that aluminum has.
Our stability, therefore, is already built-in. We also
employ preloaded air bearings on all three axes.
Software: We offer powerful and easy-to-use
software programs. The Starrett Measure Manager is
designed for manual machines, and Measure Manager-DCC is
for all driven machines.
Probes: Starrett systems feature the full range
of manual and motorized probing and camera systems from
Renishaw.
Accuracy: Each CMM is thoroughly inspected
prior to shipment in accordance with the U.S. ANSI
B89.1.12 specification. We meet or exceed published
accuracy levels, and all equipment used to perform these
tests is traceable to the U.S. National Institute of
Standards and Technology. NOTE: Specifications and
testing for VDI-VDE 2617 are available upon request.
Speed: The real measure of coordinate measuring
machine speed is the time to complete the total measuring
cycle, from initiation of inspection to accuracy
verification. Using this true test of speed, we will
match up with any system for the total
"floor-to-floor" time required to accurately
complete the inspection process.
We have three moving bridge machine series based on
the Z-axis range:
- Premis - consists of
all machines with a Z-axis range under 20"
(508 mm)
- Aurora - consists Of
all machines with a Z-axis range of 20" to
40" (508 to under 1 m)
- Vanguard - large
machines have a 40" (1 m) Z-axis
With a few exceptions noted, all of our machines are
available in either manual, joystick or fully automatic
mode.
Software for both manual
control and direct
computer control applications is
also available.

No. HGC Series - Manual
No. HGDC Series - Direct Computer Controlled
The Premis range of
compact/"personal" CMMs is available in either
manual or Direct Computer Controlled (DCC). These
machines combine accuracy, performance and ease of use at
a very affordable price. Designed with the customer in
mind, the manual version can be fully upgraded to DCC at
your facility, allowing the machine to be adapted to your
changing needs.
Features and benefits:
- Largest measuring capacity in its class
- Hollow Granite technology design for less weight
with thermal stability
- Ceramic 16" (406 mm) Z-axis has the thermal
characteristics of granite with a high
stiffness-to-weight ratio
- Porous graphite preloaded air bearings provide
better lift and eliminate weight shift in motion
with minimal air consumption
- Continuous travel - fine-feed adjustment on
manual machine
- Supplied standard with Measure Manager DCC
software, featuring a graphical user interface
for ease of use and measurement power
- Supplied with support cabinet complete with
anti-vibration mounts
- Wraparound outboard leg for maximum dynamic
stability

24" (610 mm) Z-Axis
No. RGC Series - Manual
No. RGDC Series - Direct Computer Controlled
Available in manual, manual/joystick and full Direct
Computer Controlled (DCC), the Aurora combines high
accuracy and throughput with powerful Measure Manager or
Measure Manager DCC Software.
Incorporating advanced designs to satisfy industry's
most demanding measurement needs, the Aurora outperforms
competitive systems, offering the best
price-to-performance ratio of any mid to large-sized
CMMs.
Features and Benefits:

outboard leg to achieve outstanding accuracies
- Porous graphite preloaded air bearings
that provide better lift and eliminate weight
shift in motion with minimal air consumption
- All RGC Manual Machines and all RGDG Driven
Machines are supplied standard with Measure
Manager or Measure Manager DCC software,
featuring a graphical user interface for ease of
use and measurement power

40" (1016 mm) Z-Axis
No. RGDC Series
The Vanguard range of Direct Computer Controlled
machines represents Starrett's largest volume machines
and is a continuation of our innovative approach to CMM
design.
Hollow granite and ceramic are again combined in an
advanced bridge design. The X-beam cross section has been
significantly increased to maintain the geometry and
accuracy required for 40" "Z" measurement.
Using hollow ceramic allows the weight of this section to
be kept to a minimum. When combined with Starrett's
Measure Manager DCC software, the Vanguard is the
ultimate in CMM technology.
Features and Benefits
- Advanced design further reduces mass by
incorporating hollow granite technology
- Ceramic "X" axis and "Z"
axis mimics the thermal characteristics of
granite with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio
- Integrated way covers ensure
minimum contamination in shop environment
- Porous graphite preloaded air bearings
provide better lift and eliminate weight shift in
motion with minimal air consumption
- Precision band drive system
- Large bearing aspect ratios and wraparound
outboard leg to achieve outstanding accuracies.
- Supplied standard with Measure Manager DCC
Software, featuring a graphical user
interface for ease of use and measurement power
