Zeiss and Mahle in global piston measurement agreement

Mahle GmbH, Stuttgart has signed a general agreement with Carl Zeiss Industrielle Messtechnik GmbH for piston measurement technology.

The agreement defines the Zeiss GageMax co-ordinate measuring machine as the standard machine for the measurement of pistons around the globe. Successful tests have lead to the decision to use GageMax as a flexible gauge in production at all Mahle locations in Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, the Americas and Asia instead of the current manual measuring tools. The Mahle Group is the globally leading manufacturer of components and systems for combustion engines and their peripherals.
