Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Metrology: Discover the EcoAir System
Carolina Carvalho

In a scenario where sustainability is no longer an option but a demand that cuts across all sectors, industrial metrology plays a decisive role in the process of transforming production operations. NM3D Ibérica, as a specialist in dimensional measurement solutions, has the mission of providing the market with technologies that simultaneously meet the criteria of precision, reliability and environmental responsibility.

It is in this context that we highlight EcoAir, an innovation developed by our representative LK Metrology, designed to make coordinate measuring systems (CMMs) more energy efficient and sustainable.

What is EcoAir?

EcoAir is an automatic compressed air shutoff module designed to shut off air supply to CMM air bearings during periods when the machine is not operating. This feature, which can be integrated into new machines or retrofitted to existing equipment equipped with the LK NMC300 controller, allows for a reduction of up to 95% in compressed air consumption during downtime.


This approach not only represents a direct saving in operating costs, but also allows minimizing the carbon footprint associated with the continued use of energy resources. Furthermore, the downtime required to activate the air cut is configurable and can be set from just one minute, giving the system high flexibility to adapt to the production environment.

  

Ready to operate whenever needed

One of the great advantages of EcoAir is its ability to automatically reactivate the air supply as soon as the equipment is used again — whether in manual or CNC mode. This ensures that the machine is always ready to operate, without compromising response times or production cycles. In sectors where productivity and reliability of measurement data are crucial, this functionality represents an obvious added value.
