At SAMUEXPO 2026, READY Metrology showcased a clear vision of the future of coordinate measuring machines: metrology that moves with production.
Among the solutions presented, RUN, READY’s flexible CMM for the production environment, stood out for its ability to combine precision, robustness and simplicity — attracting strong interest from manufacturers looking to bring measurement closer to the shopfloor.
RUN was developed to respond to a real and growing need in modern manufacturing:
fast, reliable measurements directly where parts are made.
Unlike traditional CMMs designed for controlled laboratories, RUN systems are engineered for production use, delivering metrology-grade results without disrupting workflows. The result is faster inspection, immediate feedback and tighter control at every stage of the process.
This production-oriented approach resonated strongly with visitors, who recognised RUN as a practical solution — not just a measuring machine.
A key reason behind RUN’s success at SAMUEXPO was its focus on simplicity and reliability.
RUN systems integrate seamlessly into production thanks to:
Linear motor technology, ensuring maintenance-free operation
No air supply or lubrication required, reducing complexity and operating costs
Long-term reliability even in challenging shopfloor conditions
By removing typical constraints associated with traditional CMMs, RUN enables manufacturers to perform measurements more frequently and with greater confidence.
Ease of operation is central to the RUN concept.
The Easy Runner interface allows operators to load and execute inspection programs with a single touch, while the moving table design and optional clamping kit ensure fast, ergonomic part handling.
RUN is also designed with automation in mind:
The moving table structure simplifies robot integration
The portal and measuring head remain outside the moving range, increasing safety during setup and loading
Switching between parts takes only seconds — simply scan a barcode and the correct program is loaded automatically, complete with measurement and reporting
This level of usability makes RUN accessible not only to metrology specialists, but also to production operators.
Maintaining accuracy under real production conditions is essential.
RUN systems include advanced features designed to ensure repeatability and long-term performance, such as:
Automatic stylus cleaning unit
Active anti-vibration granite base with pneumatic dampers
These elements allow RUN to deliver consistent results even in environments where vibration, temperature variation and continuous operation are part of everyday production.
RUN is designed for both end-of-line inspection and in-process verification, providing immediate measurement data that helps manufacturers:
Prevent deviations before they become defects
Reduce scrap and rework
Shorten setup and changeover times
With integrated CAD import and GD&T analysis, RUN delivers full insight into part geometry, supporting compliance with specifications and accelerating continuous process improvement.
In this way, metrology becomes an active tool for optimization — not just a final validation step.
The strong response to RUN at SAMUEXPO confirmed a broader shift in how manufacturers view coordinate measuring machines.
With RUN, READY expands the concept of what a CMM can be:
not just a measurement system, but a flexible production resource.
By combining precision engineering with practical, production-ready design, RUN transforms metrology into a driver of manufacturing performance — directly on the shopfloor.
READY is a next-generation brand in industrial metrology, developing accessible and production-ready measurement systems for manufacturing environments. Its technologies combine precision engineering with practical design to empower teams where it matters most — on the shopfloor.
