Zeiss delivers Prismo number 25,000
Carl Zeiss Industrielle Messtechnik GmbH has built its 25,000th co-ordinate measuring machine.
The machine, a Prismo CMM, was officially transferred to Munich-based MTU Aero Engines at the beginning of September in Oberkochen, Germany and features an an integrated rotary table.
It is used primarily to measure engine components with micron accuracy. The machines feature the narrow tolerances needed to meet the high safety standards placed on aircraft engines. MTU already uses 51 co-ordinate measuring machines from Carl Zeiss Industrial Metrology, 33 of them from the Prismo line.
