ZEISS XENOS
High-end measuring machine for maximum precision
ZEISS XENOS is at home wherever maximum precision is demanded – in the measuring labs of research institutes, the aerospace industry and the optical industry. The high-end machine combines precision at the limits of what is technically feasible with a measuring range of nearly one cubic meter.
Innovative mechanical design
ZEISS XENOS impresses with its new mechanical design based on the proven ZEISS CenterMax. Unlike the standard bridge-type design, the Y guideways are on top of the side walls which separate all moving axes from the clamping area. Because only the cross beam moves in the Y direction, there are lower moving masses.This remains constant at all times – a real benefit compared to a moving table. Together, the weight reduction and constantly moving masses enable optimal coordination of the drives regarding acceleration and maximum speed.
In addition, new air bearings with an even more rigid connection enhance stability and therefore enable better accuracy.
Improved electronics design
The influence on precision of moving cables on all coordinate measuring machines has been clearly reduced through the improved decoupling and a new electronics concept featuring decentralized modules.
New Computer-Aided Accuracy (CAA) acceptance methods and additional CAA corrections are playing an increasingly vital role in achieving maximum accuracy.
Enhanced ZEISS VAST gold
ZEISS XENOS comes standard with the VAST gold reference probe from ZEISS. During development of ZEISS XENOS, this powerful sensor from ZEISS was further optimized for better accuracy and repeatability.
The more rigid connection to the ram on ZEISS XENOS is also new. ZEISS VAST gold sensor is designed for styli up to 800 millimeters long and stylus weights up to 500 grams, including asymmetrical stylus configurations.
