CRYSTA-APEX EX SERIES – 5-Axis CNC CMM

Smooth control of the 5-axis probe head with outstanding measurement performance.

The CRYSTA-Apex EX 500T/700T/900T 


It is a CNC CMMs with a PH20 controlled 5-axis touch head. 5-axis operation reduces the time required for rotary movements of the probe and allows for more flexible positioning. It also allows easy access to complex workpieces and saves time both during programming and measurement. In addition to 3-point measurement, similar to conventional coordinate measuring machines, the PH20 probe head supports ‘head touch’ operation for fast point measurement using only the probe’s two rotational axes, without the need for axial movement. The CMM PH20 includes a TP20 probe head and allows the use of modules designed for the TP20. Automatic probe change with module changer also supports the use of the TCR20 changer rack (OPTION).


PH20 5-axis touch trigger probe


  • Incorporates PH20 5-axis touch-trigger probe
  • Ultra-high speed 5-axis control touch-trigger probe
  • Smooth 5-axis control drastically reduces measurement time (typically 40-65%) for probe rotation
  • 5-axis design provides highly efficient measurement method of “head touch” for point measurement by moving the probe head only in two axes
