Always on Point
ZEISS CMM Acceleration Mode for Aerospace Application
Quality inspection of engine components like blades and blisks is vital. Yet it is also expensive and time-consuming, accounting for 20% of the total production cost and 25% of the total production time. Any means of speeding up the measurement process without compromising on accuracy promises significant savings for the sector at large – which is where ZEISS CMM Acceleration Mode for Aerospace Applications comes in. Available for ZEISS PRISMO 7/12/7 fortis, ZEISS CMM Acceleration Mode for Aerospace Applications comprises a pair of options known as ZEISS VAST Rotary Table Axis (ZVRA) and ZEISS VAST Rotary Table (ZVR) as well as a dedicated application support package if required. ZVRA boosts accuracy by providing swift definition of the axis of the rotary table, while ZVR promotes faster movement of the rotary table and thus faster measurement.
ZEISS TS
The New Tailstock for the ZEISS PRISMO Family
The tailstock from ZEISS makes it possible to clamp shaft-like measurement objects between centers. For example, gear shafts, worm shafts, crankshafts, camshafts, and rotors can be clamped without deformation and measured in the best possible way. Thanks to this ideal accessibility, complete measurements can be realized in a single clamping position. ZEISS TS shows its strengths through an interchangeable interface that enables swift setup of the tailstock in the measuring volume if required. In combination with the high-precision air-bearing rotary table ZEISS RT-AB-600, a universal coordinate measuring machine can therefore be quickly and flexibly expanded into a specialized shaft measuring machine. Available in two Z-sizes as the TS-7 and TS-10 variants, the ZEISS TS is perfectly aligned with all members of the ZEISS PRISMO Family.
Maximum Speed and Agility for the ZEISS PRISMO Family
