Since 1986 Helmel Engineerings Geomet Systems Division can put the Geomet CMM software on any CMM brand.

Any manual and most DCC CMMs can be retrofitted with a Geomet Coordinate Measuring Machine Software upgrade.

Geomet provides effective presentation of measurements as well as 2-way connection with CAD databases.

Versatility, integrity and speed are some features that a Geomet coordinate measuring machine software upgrade provides.

The Checkmaster is built with hardened steel ways and steel structures resulting in a minimum of thermal errors. It is tested for repeatability and accuracy before leaving the plant in order to meet or exceed the ANSI B89..4.1a-1998 specifications.

Specially designed brackets protect key components in order to guarantee fast and secure installations of the Checkmaster CMM.

The measuring capacity is defined by the maximum object size a coordinate measuring machine is able to measure in 3 dimension, while the measuring lengths of the 3 orthogonal axis are describing the total travel that is being able to be achieved in each direction.

Helmel started 1973 when there were 8 other domestic coordinate measuring machine manufacturers that were selling their line of CMMs to the american marketplace.

As of 2009 all of the others either took their coordinate measuring machines off the market or sold them to other coordinate measuring machine manufacturers.

After Brown & Sharpe was sold in 2001, Helmel Engineering was the only one left from all the original american coordinate measuring machine manufacturers.

Oftentimes a rental coordinate measuring machine or a special promotion coordinate measuring machine can be a better deal than used coordinate measuring machines in certain cases.

An example of a special promotion is the introductory special for the new Phoenix RB coordinate measuring machine which is available as a self-installable unit ready-to-run at under $20,000.
