Zeiss introduces next-generation Contura CMM

The latest generation of Zeiss Contura coordinate measuring machine offers additional measuring ranges and a wide spectrum of optical sensors.

In tune with the various customer requirements, sensors are available in the Direkt, RDS and Aktiv versions. Fitted with the Zeiss Vast XXT probe, the Direkt model is suitable for the scanning of small workpieces. For parts with different angular positions, the RDS sensor model is the right choice. The RDS articulating probe holder can be positioned freely in 2.5° increments, resulting in more than 20,000 possible positions. The Aktiv configuration is recommended when long styli are needed for measurements deep inside a part, or for additional demands on precision and speed. The Zeiss Contura is now available in eight different sizes starting with a measuring volume of 700 x 700 x 600 mm up to 1200 x 2400 x 1000 mm.
