Innovative Scanning Capabilities for Comprehensive Inspections

ZEISS SPECTRUM combines both tactile and optical scanning capabilities, featuring the VAST XXT TL3 compact design sensor that enhances available measuring volume, as well as the innovative LineScan One laser scanner for high-speed optical measurements. By offering seamless integration of these technologies, ZEISS SPECTRUM empowers businesses to perform comprehensive inspections with a single machine, ensuring improved productivity and precision. ZEISS SPECTRUM verity allows even greater sensor flexibility with ZEISS VAST XT gold which offers active scanning.

Maximum Adaptability across Applications

Available in four sizes, ZEISS SPECTRUM delivers maximum adaptability for measuring a wide range of parts and geometries. The RDS probe carrier for SPECTRUM verity enables flexible angle positioning, with up to 20,736 possible positions, allowing for accurate and versatile measurement configurations. The system’s glass ceramic scales have near-zero thermal expansion, which minimizes temperature-based errors and ensures stability over time.

Efficient Design for Enhanced Measurement of Flexible Parts

For delicate and flexible parts, ZEISS SPECTRUM offers the sensor option SoftTouch Mode, incorporating the VAST XXT TL1 sensor. This feature enables precise and rapid results, with the potential to reduce measurement cycle times by up to 40%. The compact footprint of ZEISS SPECTRUM also allows for optimized lab space utilization without compromising on measurement volume, making it ideal for workshops of any size. Furthermore, the newly integrated LineScan One allows optical scanning with highspeed in a single setup, enabling users to effortlessly capture complex geometries and surface details.

A Benchmark in Affordability and Efficiency

"We are excited to introduce the ZEISS SPECTRUM to the market," said Andrzej Grzesiak, Head of Business Unit Multisensoric CMMs. "This product sets a new benchmark in CMM technology, providing our customers with the precision and flexibility they need while maintaining a focus on affordability and efficiency. ZEISS SPECTRUM is truly a game-changer for industrial quality control."

ZEISS SPECTRUM family is now available to order, offering businesses the opportunity to elevate their quality control processes with cutting-edge ZEISS technology.
