 | | State-of-the-art machines and maximum precision are the hallmarks of the mechanical components production at Carl Zeiss Sports Optics GmbH.
For instance, the company's machine park includes not only 5-axis milling machines and 4-axis lathes, but also wire-EDM machines for the high-precision machining of workpieces.
For our team producing mechanical components made of steel, aluminum alloys and titanium, tolerances between 4 µm and 20 µm are as "normal" as angular accuracies of 8" and less.
High-speed milling machines, for example, are used to produce all of our riflescope tubes featuring the patented Zeiss rail slot. These tubes including the eyepiece mount are made from one solid piece and provide both high resistance to mechanical stress and maximum precision for constantly high quality.
Only by using wire-EDM machining can the cardan spring joint of the 20 x 60 S binocular be manufactured with the necessary accuracy. In this top-of-the-line binocular, four elliptical 80 µm-thick leaf springs positioned on the circumference of a hollow titanium cylinder stabilize the image against the user's hand tremor. Here, tolerances in the ?m-range are a must
Another core competence of Carl Zeiss Sports Optics GmbH also is
 the manufacture of reticles and engravings. |
