Customizable, Expanded Line of Multisensor Measuring Machines



"The ZEISS O-INSPECT multisensor measuring machine is becoming more customizable and now provides even more flexibility for a wide range of applications," said a company spokesperson. "Due to the new additions to the ZEISS O-INSPECT line, users now have a greater selection."

The contact-optical measuring machine is now offered in several sizes, load capacities and contact probes. "All this with increased dynamics and the option of adding a chromatic focus sensor at any time," said Christoph Stark, Product Manager at ZEISS.

ZEISS O-INSPECT can be used for activities such as the measurement of dental implants, tiny vehicle parts and sensitive smartphone components. "For workpieces that are either too small or delicate, or when large quantities have to be measured, users can simply switch on the ZEISS O-INSPECT camera sensor," said the spokesperson. "For 3D characteristics, the benefits of the contact sensor come into play. The chromatic focus sensor closes the gap between the contact and camera sensors."

The smallest model measures 300 x 200 x 200 mm, giving it a measuring range of 12 cubic decimeters. The next size up measures 500 x 400 x 300 mm or 60 cubic decimeters. ZEISS also offers an 863 model for large or heavy workpieces or for large pallets which can hold many parts. It features a measuring range of 800 x 600 x 300 mm, or 144 cubic decimeters.

"There is also greater flexibility with the contact sensor," said the spokesperson. "The ZEISS VAST XXT TL1 and ZEISS VAST XXT TL3 scanning probes are now available. The TL1 features minimal measuring forces and is suitable for scanning sensitive workpieces such as components for camera lenses and thin-walled, injection-molded plastic parts for smartphones. The TL3 can be used flexibly for larger workpieces."
