The TRACER-NG supports all the YCM Alliance partner machine tool brands, including YCM (milling, turning, and wire EDM), Trimill (gantry-type portal milling), exeron (sinker EDM and ultra-high-speed milling), and KMC (double column milling with head changer).

Carson, Calif. – July 15, 2022 – YCM Technology (USA), Inc. announces ColTer Precision has joined the YCM Alliance for complete machining solutions. The ColTer Precision, Etalon Laser TRACER-NG dynamically calibrates and monitors the entire working volume of machine tools and CMMs for high-precision accuracy. The TRACER-NG supports all the YCM Alliance partner machine tool brands, including YCM (milling, turning, and wire EDM), Trimill (gantry-type portal milling), exeron (sinker EDM and ultra-high-speed milling), and KMC (double column milling with head changer).

YCM Alliance installers, service technicians, and dealers can ensure absolute, volumetric precision on every machine, across the shop floor. “The addition of ColTer Precision to the YCM Alliance is an example of our commitment to provide comprehensive machining solutions. Customers don’t want to buy machine-tools, they want to make perfect parts; our goal is to help them do that,” said Tony Pekalski, President of YCM Technology, Inc.

Unlike conventional measurement devices, the TRACER-NG employs a patented process that uses a sphere with a form deviation of just 50 nanometers as an optical reference for the interferometer. Rotational or swivel axes errors are analyzed and reported with sub-micron accuracy, for precise calibration. “We are pleased to be a part of the YCM Alliance. Our goal is to provide precision across the shop floor, which directly compliments the mission of the Alliance, to provide complete machining solutions,” said ColTer Precision, Inc.
