ANAHEIM, CA, USA, Jul 2, 2025 – Verisurf Software, Inc., is excited to announce full support for the new Renishaw Equator-X, combining the industry’s fastest dual-method gage with Verisurf’s market-leading CMM Programming & Inspection suite for automated, shop floor inspection and reporting.
Whether you’re running a small machine shop or a high-rate production line, the new Equator-X with Verisurf gives you the speed of a gage and the precision of a CMM all in one system.
“Verisurf supports the new Equator‑X as both a gage and a true CMM, along with the Equator 300 and 500 systems in every compare mode,” said Nick Merrell, Executive Vice President at Verisurf. “For over ten years, Verisurf has optimized the performance of Equator systems using error mapping, enabling them to operate as true CMMs. Equator‑X builds on that foundation with increased speed, accuracy, and flexibility on the shop floor.”
Why This Matters for Your Shop:
Most manufacturers use Equators as 3D go/no-go gages. Verisurf takes it further. Using our proprietary Cubic Volumetric Mapping (CVM) process; we error map and certify Equator 300 and 500 systems to perform as production-ready CMMs installed on the shop floor, capable of running full inspection routines with traceable accuracy.
