The ZEISS Automation Interface allows you to easily automate your measuring device without any engineering effort. In addition to starting inspection plans and providing feedback on measurement results or machine status, the application allows you to control CMM peripherals. The interface is also preconfigured for all products in the ZEISS Integration Series. For example, the control of automatic fixtures or the pallet feed can be configured effortlessly with just a few clicks. Individual fixtures developed by you can also be controlled via configuration.

ZEISS CONTURA enables you to be prepared today for the measurement requirements of tomorrow: The new generation is equipped with the mass technology and, thanks to a common interface, enables simple switching between different sensor technologies in just a few simple steps. In addition to innovative options such as measuring in four axes using a flexible rotary table, an automated probe changing system or the HTG option (for larger temperature ranges), the device also stands for first-class performance, ergonomics and future security.

ZEISS O-INSPECT doesn’t skimp on when it comes to software, because with ZEISS CALYPSO you use our universal measuring software that is also used on portal measuring machines such as ZEISS CONTURA.

ZEISS CALYPSO impresses with its intuitive operating concept that combines functional diversity and flexibility. Programming is performed by clicking on the desired measuring elements on the CAD model with the mouse or even more simply by probing, regardless of the sensor, and automatic measuring element recognition.

Various software options offer the right tools for special requirements, such as the standard curve functionality of the O-INSPECT or the integrated measurement report software tool ZEISS PiWeb reporting.

The tailstock from ZEISS makes it possible to clamp shaft-like measurement objects between centers. For example, gear shafts, worm shafts, crankshafts, camshafts or rotors can be clamped without deformation and measured in the best possible way. Due to the ideal accessibility, complete measurements can thus be realized in one clamping position. ZEISS TS shows its strength through an interchangeable interface, through which the tailstock can be quickly set up in the measuring volume if required. In combination with the high-precision air-bearing rotary table ZEISS RT-AB-600, a universal coordinate measuring machine can thus be quickly and flexibly expanded into a specialized shaft measuring machine. ZEISS TS is available in two z-sizes as the TS-7 and TS-10 variants, perfectly aligned with all members of ZEISS PRISMO family.

(Carl Zeiss IMT: Oberkochen, Germany) -- With DuraMax RT Gear, Carl Zeiss has developed a special compact-class gear wheel horizontal-arm measuring machine. Now featuring a rotary table, it fits into any small or large workshop, is suitable for inline process control and thus close to production.

“This new feature enables users to increase their flexibility and save valuable time,” says Alexander Dollansky, product manager at Carl Zeiss Industrial Metrology. “They can work more efficiently and cost-aware.” A precision system turns the workpiece with the corresponding side facing the stylus. This allows the stylus system to capture the geometry of the gear wheel in a simple process without having to repeatedly travel to a new position.

The added flexibility for users is one of the key properties of DuraMax RT Gear. The rotary table can be freely positioned on the measuring plate and removed later in just a few steps. DuraMax RT Gear can therefore be flexibly used as a universal measuring machine when other jobs arise. Additional features include its suitability for rough production environments, proven and innovative ZEISS measuring software, a small footprint, and low power consumption.

The accuracy of a gear measuring machine is decided primarily where the measured values are acquired: on the stylus system. Workpieces can only be accurately, quickly, and efficiently measured in conjunction with a powerful stylus system. The flexible XXT styli were specially developed for the ZEISS VAST XXT scanning stylus system on DuraMax RT Gear.

A rotary table option capable of performing 4-axis scanning measurement synchronizing four axes, i. e., three axes of the measuring machine and rotary axis of the rotary table.This option enables high-accuracy measurement of intricately shaped workpieces, such as gears and impellers. Moreover, with this option, a workpiece can be rotated so that the whole circumference of the workpiece can be measured with minimum stylus configuration.This is a highly beneficial option in that it enables high-accuracy measurement of intricate shapes and reduces stylus cost as well as measurement time by reduction of stylus change frequency.

In the aerospace industry, in-vehicle and mechanical engineering as well as in many other fields, coordinate measuring machines with a large measuring range are required so that there is no need to compromise when it comes to precision. This is why ZEISS offers a wide range of tabletop, bridge-type and gantry coordinate measuring machines in various sizes. Large coordinate measuring offered by ZEISS include ZEISS ACCURA and the entire ZEISS MMZ product family (MMZ T, MMZ M, MMZ G).

The horizontal arm of the ZEISS CARMET is equipped with space-saving collision protection on both sides to protect people and material from injury and damage. The proven friction drives in the ZEISS machines that simply slip through when there is a blockage also contribute to safety.

For all structurally relevant components, ZEISS consistently uses steel, which allows for even, controlled heat expansion. In addition, the Z column is also thermally insulated by F.I. technology. The result: The machine can be used in a broad temperature range from 16 to 24°C within the specified measuring error. Furthermore, the machine does not have to be cooled, and temperature compensation is not required. In addition, the light insulation cover can be removed quickly and easily for maintenance.
