From its humble beginnings on March 25, 1973 to now, Helmel Engineering has outlived all other CMM manufacturers in the United States. We are proud of this fact. Helmel is the only surviving USA based CMM manufacturer that has not been sold since 1972. Consistent commitment to our customers that have purchased from us is a proud tradition. Many of our CMMs produced back in the 1970's and early 1980's can be directly traced to current employees - that is commitment.

Beginning the week of December 17th, 2007, Helmel will begin shipping its latest generation of Geomet. With this new version, Geomet 501 designed for use with the Renishaw UCC controller will make it D'ebut. For a more detailed listing of key changes, click here.

Until Microgage, the cost of this level of 3D precision has been 3 to 10 times higher, and the choices have been limited to much larger machines. The need for the highest precision is often found in the smallest parts, yet there has been no choice but to buy a relatively huge CMM for these tasks, wasting money and valuable floor space.
