Microscopy of High-performance Racecar Engines

At ECR Engines, ZEISS microscopes are a vital tool in the quality assurance effort. ECR uses a variety of ZEISS microscopes to ensure impeccable reliability and gain confidence and understanding of critical engine components as we push our engines to their maximum potential. In our laboratory we house a ZEISS Discovery V20 SteREO microscope, a ZEISS Smartzoom 5 microscope, a ZEISS Smartproof 5 microscope, a ZEISS Axio Observer 7 microscope, and a ZEISS EVO 25 electron microscope along with various other ZEISS metrology tools. ECR uses ZEISS microscopes for incoming inspection of components across a variety of inspectors and methods. ZEISS microscopes, known for their great optics, also provide excellent flexibility. At ECR we perform everything from handheld visual verification to computer-controlled repetitive inspection and all the way to cross-sectional material analysis.. ECR also uses ZEISS microscopes to quickly determine failure modes and understand potential component issues throughout the development process to provide our customers with the most powerful engine on the track paired with outstanding reliability.
