Measurement volume

ZEISS DuraMax offers an unbeatable measuring volume/footprint ratio. Optimal accessibility, a clear view into the measuring volume as well as loading at an optimal working height from three sides and from above improve ergonomics and safety as well as reducing operating time.

Rotary table for measuring with a fourth axis

In combination with the optional rotary table, you gain even greater flexibility for rotational symmetrical small parts, allowing you to measure complex tasks with a fourth axis. This not only reduces the complexity of stylus systems, but also the operating time due to fewer stylus system changes.

ZEISS VAST XXT for scanning and single-point measuring

ZEISS VAST XXT allows single-point measuring and scanning. This offers optimal productivity with stable results. The scanning technology enables the measurement of a massively higher point density and thus a better evaluation of size, shape and position tolerance. A wide spectrum of styli allows you to measure more complex features on more parts.

Robust performance in challenging environments

Glass-ceramic scales support stable measurements from +18 °C to +30 °C, while the IP54 base protects the computer hardware. Built-in vibration isolation adds stability, while optional pneumatic vibration isolation further reduces the impact of ground vibrations and can be retrofitted for ZEISS DuraMax and ZEISS O-INSPECT.

Even less temperature-sensitive, even more robust

ZEISS DuraMax 5/5/5 HTG

ZEISS DuraMax 5/5/5 HTG offers the widest temperature range with the highest temperature gradient within the DuraMax family and can be operated both at the production site and in automation systems. This provides more flexibility as you can perform your measurement tasks with even more resistance to environmental influences.

Highlights:

Precise measurement at high temperatures
Frame insulation and stainless steel cover with reflecting surface
Zerodur scales for smallest possible heat expansion
Additional filter pads in the X- and Y-axis to protect against dirt and dust

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.

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.

Your benefits:

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

Increase throughput with the ZEISS Duplex system

The ZEISS Duplex system enables setup and measurement to run in parallel: while one pallet is being measured, the next can already be prepared. The manual version reduces setup-related downtime, while the automated version adds automatic pallet changes for longer unattended operation. This creates a scalable path to higher CMM utilization and throughput.

Applications and benefits:

Parallel setup and measurement with two pallets
Higher CMM utilization and throughput
Longer unattended operation with the automated version
Simple operation without complex automation technology

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.
