ZEISS DuraMax

The natural choice for the shop floor

Quality assurance is demanding and CMM requirements are high – especially in the production environment. ZEISS DuraMax combines robustness, precision and efficiency, making it the perfect choice for at-line measurement directly in your production hall. ZEISS DuraMax is not deterred by harsh environmental conditions and withstands even high temperatures. In conjunction with the ZEISS VAST XXT-Sensor it enables fast single-point measurements as well as scanning of contours and free-form surfaces, making fixed gauges superfluous.

  • Robust design for production environments
  • High precision under variable conditions
  • Advanced scanning technology

ZEISS VAST XXT
ZEISS VAST XXT

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.

Rotary table
Rotary Table

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 probe changes.

All axes are equipped with glass-ceramic scales. These do not expand with increasing temperature, allowing stable measurements at temperatures from +18 °C to +30 °C. The IP54 base protects the computer hardware.
Pneumatic vibration isolation
Pneumatic vibration isolation

The optional pneumatic vibration isolation prevents the influence of ground vibrations on measurement results and provides automatic level control. It can also be retrofitted for ZEISS DuraMax and ZEISS O-INSPECT.
Measurement volume
Measurement volume

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

ZEISS DuraMax HTG

Even less temperature-sensitive, even more robust

ZEISS DuraMax HTG offers the widest temperature range with the highest temperature gradient 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
  • Zerodur scales for smallest possible heat expansion
  • Temperature sensors for workpiece temperature correction
  • Additional filter pads in the X- and Y-axis to protect against dirt and dust

ZEISS Integration Series: Matching solutions for every measurement task

The product range of ZEISS Integration Series allows for flexible expansion of your measurement solution to ensure optimal integration into your existing processes and for an increase in productivity and throughput.
  • Coordinate measuring machine with a large metal inspection table and a ZEISS-branded probe, next to a computer monitor displaying automation and control software in a modern industrial lab.

    Duplex system

    The duplex system for ZEISS DuraMax improves machine utilization, as the workpieces can be clamped and unclamped in parallel to the measuring process. In addition, the system improves the ergonomics of part handling and prevents damage to the measuring sensors

    Setup during the measurement process

    • Optimized CMM utilization
    • High throughput of workpieces
  • A slim wireless keyboard in front of a large, angled monitor displaying blue data charts and a machine diagram on a white background.

    Automation Interface

    The ZEISS Automation Interface allows you to easily automate your measuring device without any engineering effort. In addition to starting inspection plans and providing feedback on measurement results or machine status, the application allows you to control CMM peripherals. The interface is also preconfigured for all products in the ZEISS Integration Series. For example, the control of automatic fixtures or the pallet feed can be configured effortlessly with just a few clicks. Individual fixtures developed by you can also be controlled via configuration.

    Easy automation of the CMM periphery

    • Standardized communication interfaces: OPC UA, Profinet, EthernetIP
    • User administration allows plant operators, measuring technicians, setters or service to see exactly what they need
    • Can be used in both automatic and manual mode even by untrained operators
    • Simple configuration by click and directly via the user interface, without complex PLC programming
    • Efficient commissioning with low project risks and low costs
  • 3D CAD rendering of a light-blue mechanical component with detailed internal features and engineering dimension annotations displayed around it.

    ZEISS CALYPSO Software

    Software for dimensional measurement technology

    ZEISS CALYPSO measures standard geometries simply, quickly and reliably. Program inspection plans easily by clicking on the desired features. Travel paths are generated automatically and optimally by the software. Thanks to numerous optional extensions, ZEISS CALYPSO also offers the right tools for special requirements, for example with ZEISS CALYPSO VAST probing and ZEISS CALYPSO pallet optimizer. These functions allow measurements to be carried out up to 25% faster.
