RUN is Ready’s line of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) designed specifically for use in production.

“Combining precision, robustness, and ease of use, RUN systems deliver metrology-grade results directly on the shop floor, enabling fast inspection, feedback, and control at every stage of production,” said a company spokesperson. “It was developed with a clear goal: to make measurements simple, fast, and reliable.”

Linear motors enable maintenance-free operation, eliminating the need for air supply or lubrication and offering long-term reliability, even in challenging environments.

The Easy Runner interface allows operators to load and execute inspection programs with a single touch, while the moving table and optional clamping kit offer quick and ergonomic part handling.

Robot integration is facilitated by the moving table structure: portal and measuring head are always out of the moving range, increasing safety during set-up procedures and allowing faster part loading.

Switching from one part to another takes only seconds also for the operator— scan a barcode to load a new program and the machine performs measurement and reporting automatically.

RUN systems include advanced features that enhance performance and longevity, such as:

• Active anti-vibration granite base with pneumatic dampers. These elements offer accuracy and repeatability, even under real shop floor conditions.

Designed for end-of-line control and in-process verification, RUN offers immediate measurement data to help manufacturers prevent deviations, reduce scraps, and shorten set-up times.

Integrated CAD import and GD&T analysis provide complete insight into part geometry, enabling compliance with specifications and accelerating process improvement.
