The quality checking for work pieces is an important process in the production process, which cannot be avoided. Therefore, quality tools are essential for this process. In this column, MEGA Tech has presented ZEISS CONTURA, a measuring tool with ZEISS Mass Technology that provides high precision and fast work.
“Prepared for all challenges – today and tomorrow: ZEISS CONTURA”
Versatility
ZEISS CONTURA stands for absolute versatility and flexibility. The new generation is equipped with the ZEISS multi- application sensor system (mass) technology, which makes it possible to exchange different sensor technologies quickly and easily.
With ZEISS CONTURA, you are already prepared today for the measurement tasks of tomorrow, as you can easily adapt to changing customer requirements.
Opticals Sensors
ZEISS CONTURA combines the performance of tactile and optical measurement tasks on a single device: from 2D image sensors to chromatic white light sensors to triangulation lasers. With ZEISS CONTURA, the world of optical sensors is now available.
Rotary Table
The new flexible rotary table can be installed in the measuring range as a surface-mounted variant when needed and can then be conveniently moved out of the measuring range again. This option enables measurements in four axes.
ProMax E
With the ProMax E option, ZEISS offers an automated probe changing magazine to guarantee the complete measuring volume during the changing process. It automatically moves into the measuring range and replaces the probe systems safely and accurately.
Ergonomic
Small measuring rooms require a measuring device to adapt with the available space. With regards to ergonomics, well thought-out special features can make a world of a difference. The user can expect to measure and work more comfortably, for example, when the height and width of the CMM are optimized to suit his/her needs.
Future-Proof
ZEISS CONTURA is also ready for Industry 4.0. The ZEISS Smart Services range of digital services allows the performance of the device to be monitored while on the move in real time.
Performance
ZEISS CONTURA makes it possible to reduce the measuring time to a minimum while maintaining reliable accuracy. This is guaranteed by functions such as ZEISS VAST navigator or ZEISS VAST performance in conjunction with ZEISS VAST measuring heads.
