LH87 – WENZEL UK
The LH87 is our high‑performance bridge‑type CMM built for demanding UK inspection environments.
It combines sturdy granite construction with ultra-stable air bearings and integrated thermal compensation- delivering consistent, precision measurement for even the most exacting applications.
Why the LH87 Is the Ideal Choice
- Precision-engineered granite bridge
Made entirely from premium black granite, the LH87 eliminates the need for steel and decking, reducing thermal distortion and ensuring long-term measurement stability—perfect for UK factories and calibration labs. - Air-bearing performance & temperature resilience
Ultra-smooth motion comes from hydrostatic air bearings on all axes, complemented by a built-in active temperature sensor. This setup reliably compensates for thermal variation, even in fluctuating UK workshop conditions. - Versatile probing & scanning options
Fully compatible with Renishaw PH20 5‑Axis heads, tactile TP6/TP20 systems and optical alternatives like WENZEL’s WM | LS 70 line scanner or SHAPETRACER 2—giving you full freedom to customise according to your QC challenge.
