WENZEL LH Hybrid: Flexibility meets precision in a new dimension

The new LH Hybrid from WENZEL combines two worlds: high-precision gear measurement and classic coordinate measurement technology — in one system, without compromises. With this solution, we are targeting manufacturers who place the highest demands on precision and efficiency and at the same time require flexibility for a wide range of component geometries.‍

Highlights of the LH Hybrid at a glance

• 4-axis measurement system
  Integration of turntable and motorized tailstock for rotationally symmetrical and prismatic parts.
• Wide measurement range
  Example LH 1210:1200 × 2500 × 1000 mm — also ideal for larger components such as crankshafts or gearboxes.
• Precision through granite
  Natural granite ensures maximum thermal stability and vibration damping — a prerequisite for reliable measurement results.
• Economical operation
  Air bearings in all axles minimize wear, reduce energy costs and increase service life.
• Flexibly expandable
  Can be retrofitted for future requirements — whether software, stylus technology or automation.

What applications is the LH Hybrid designed for?

The LH Hybrid is particularly suitable for companies with a mixed range of parts:

✅ Gears, rotors and shafts
✅ Casing and structural parts
✅ Measurements with high repeatability when component shapes change

Technology in detail

Thanks to the combination of a vertically movable tailstock (750 mm) and turntable, the LH Hybrid is able to measure complex component geometries with minimal set-up effort and maximum repeatability. The machine platform is based on the proven LH series — robust, powerful and scalable in numerous variants.

Conclusion

With the LH Hybrid As the WENZEL Group, we create a powerful solution for everyone who does not want to compromise on precision and versatility. It is the consistent development of our proven CMM technology — supplemented by the requirements of modern gear and shaft measurement. A true hybrid solution for tomorrow's measurement technology.
