THV Inspection

Preventing the escapes of life-threatening defects


Accelerate your Transcatheter Heart Valve Measurement

Sierra 5th-Axis accelerates THV measurement. We designed it specifically for THV and similar non-cylindrical components, and this focus resulted in the fastest, most accurate metrology solution.

TRANSCATHETER HEART VALVE PRODUCTS


Sierra 5th-Axis

Sierra 5th-Axis is explicitly designed to measure transcatheter heart valve frames and similar products, and it does it faster and more accurately than any competitor.

Sierra 5th-Axis extends the proven capabilities of Sierra Dimensional to the THV industry by adding the ability to measure non-cylindrical features. Sierra 5th-Axis can measure tapered areas and barbs faster and more accurately than general purpose 5-axis measuring machines.
