Automation solutions for greater efficiency and higher throughput

From simple operator assistance to fully automated part loading, ZEISS DuraMax offers scalable automation options that grow with your production requirements. Each solution is designed to make measurement processes more reliable, increase CMM utilization and throughput, and reduce the workload for operators – while allowing you to choose the level of automation that fits your needs.

Fast program selection with barcode scanning

A barcode scanner provides an easy entry point into measurement automation. Operators simply scan the barcode or QR code on the part or production order, and the correct measurement program is selected automatically. This reduces input errors and makes switching between different parts fast and reliable.

How you benefit:

  • Automatic selection of the correct measurement program
  • Fewer input and operator errors
  • Faster changeover between different parts and batches
  • Cost-effective entry into automation

Increase throughput with the manual Duplex system

With the manual Duplex system, setup and measurement take place in parallel. While one pallet is being measured, the next part can already be prepared on the second pallet. This reduces setup-related downtime and increases CMM utilization – without requiring complex automation technology.

How you benefit:

  • Parallel setup and measurement with two pallets
  • Less machine downtime between measurement jobs
  • Higher CMM utilization and throughput
  • Simple operation without complex automation technology

Extend unattended operation with the automated Duplex system

The automated Duplex system changes pallets automatically, allowing the next measurement to start with minimal operator involvement. This increases machine utilization during breaks, shift changes and unattended periods while also reducing routine tasks.

How you benefit:

  • Automatic pallet changing between measurement jobs
  • Longer unattended measurement & reduced operator workload
  • Productive use of breaks, shift changes and off-peak hours
  • Increased measurement capacity and CMM utilization

Seamless integration with ZEISS Automation Interface

The ZEISS Automation Interface streamlines the integration of measuring systems into an automated metrology solution and guides operators step by step. Whether you’re scanning with an Auto-ID device or enabling fully automated robot loading, it maximizes your process efficiency.

How you benefit:

  • Easy integration through a standardized interface in accordance with ISO 21919
  • High reliability by supporting industry technologies PROFINET and EtherNet/IP
  • User-friendly and intuitive automation software for configuration and operation
  • Highly scalable thanks to a modular software and hardware platform

Automation tailored to your needs

Every production environment is different. That’s why ZEISS works with you to create an automation package that is specific to your processes, requirements, and goals – from a simple first step to a fully automated solution.
