CMM Available to Measure Larger Workpieces



ZEISS Industrial Metrology will be featuring the new ZEISS CONTURA at EASTEC. ZEISS has now expanded the range of models to accommodate the measurement of larger workpieces. The new ZEISS CONTURA is now available with four larger measuring ranges, up to 1,200 x 2,400 x 1,000 millimeters. The additional ranges include the following in millimeters: 900 x 1,200 x 800, 900 x 1,600 x 800, 1,200 x 1,800 x 1,000, and 1,200 x 2,400 x 1,000.

The ZEISS CONTURA offers a large package of tailored sensors, including the VAST XTR gold with an integrated rotary axis that adjusts effortlessly to complex workpieces. The extra volume in all axes provides even more measuring capability with these sensor options on large parts.

"ZEISS navigator technology and ZEISS CALYPSO software let you measure faster, increasing throughput. ZEISS AirSaver option can also be integrated for additional savings, reducing compressed air consumption by up to 60 percent depending on how it is used. The CMMs are designed and assembled in the USA.

Tailored Sensors

Supporting varied customer requirements, sensors are available in the direkt, RDS and aktiv versions. Direkt sensors include the ZEISS VAST XXT passive scanning probe. This configuration is designed for small workpieces, for which a small single or star stylus is sufficient. Scanning makes it possible to efficiently and precisely measure the form in addition to the size and location. The RDS sensor model is designed for parts with different angular positions. The RDS articulating probe holder can be freely positioned in 2.5-degree increments, resulting in more than 20,000 possible positions. Its sensor interface permits the flexible use of contact and optical sensors, including the new ZEISS LineScan sensor.

The aktiv configuration is recommended when high-speed active scanning and/or long styli are needed for measurements deep inside a part. The ZEISS VAST XTR gold and VAST XT gold premium probes enable highly accurate measurements with very long, heavy stylus systems. Navigator technology from ZEISS, which enables a tangential approach without a stop and go, as well as circular or helical scanning, also results in added productivity.
