GROVE, Minn., June 6, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- In the field of precision measurement, the
coordinate measuring machines of the ZEISS PRISMO family have been
leading the way for over 30 years. The new generation now redefines
the standards in terms of speed, flexibility, sustainability and
productivity: The devices deliver maximum accuracy at the highest
measuring speed and reduce the user's carbon footprint.
Precision measurement of the future
ZEISS PRISMO is one of the most accurate coordinate measuring
machines on the market. The devices in this family are always used
when tolerances of a few micrometers or less are specified for
components. But precision is only one side of the coin. The devices
of the ZEISS PRISMO family allow the highest measurement speeds,
also due to the new definition of the scanning parameters. They
thus combine safety and performance. As proof of these high-quality
standards, the ZEISS PRISMO is the only model of its kind to carry
the DGUV type certificate.
In the further development of the device family, ZEISS is
consistently focusing on increasing efficiency without sacrificing
measurement accuracy. A decisive way to improve measurement speed
is to change the way processes are carried out. Besides that, new
features enhance safety for users by reducing the measuring speed
when approaching the machine.
Reliable and fast
All four members of the ZEISS PRISMO family meet individual
measurement requirements reliably and quickly. They are suitable
for use both in the controlled environment of a quality laboratory
and in the harsh environment of a production line. All devices can
also be combined with the new ZEISS VAST Rotary Table Axis option.
An option that allows the axis of the rotary table to be defined
almost 75 percent faster.
Higher efficiency is also offered by the new ZEISS CMM
Acceleration Mode for Aerospace Applications high-performance
package, that handles the measurement of turbine blades and blisks
in the aerospace industry, for example. These new options enable
repeatable measurements with a reproducibility of less than 10
percent of the permissible tolerances and thus meet the
industry-specific requirements for the reliability of measuring
devices. In addition, measurement times for turbine blades and
blisks are reduced by up to 70 percent.
New functions for more ergonomics, comfort and
sustainability
Sustainability, energy efficiency, noise reduction, ergonomic
operation - thanks to numerous new functions, the ZEISS PRISMO
family also meets the highest demands in this area.
The ZEISS PowerSaver feature, for example, automatically
disconnects ZEISS PRISMO from the power supply after a preset time
and sets the control to standby. This reduces the power consumption
of the devices to zero during standby. Another big plus in terms of
reducing resource consumption is the ZEISS AirSaver feature. This
switches off the compressed air after a predefined time, thus also
saving valuable energy. And the new ZEISS C99m control unit also
reduces power consumption - in a normal test cycle, this is reduced
by up to 68 percent.
The new devices in the product family also feature improved
handling. For example, the new control panel holder now offers
users a more flexible storage option. And the new design of the
front cover makes it easier to manually load the coordinate
measuring machines with heavy parts, as it reduces the distance
between the user and the measuring area. In addition, safety laser
scanners allow complete all-round monitoring of the system and
automatically reduce speed in the event of danger.
The ZEISS PRISMO product family, which has been on the market
for over 30 years, now consists of ZEISS PRISMO, ZEISS PRISMO
fortis, ZEISS PRISMO verity and ZEISS PRISMO ultra.
