Automating solutions
Simple interfaces for automated loading of CMMs
The software solutions in the ZEISS Integration Series enable the simple automation of CMMs and accessories through to the control of fully automated cells or, for example, the start of complex individual measurements. Thanks to the intuitive interfaces, the applications can even be operated by untrained personnel.
Automation Interface
Simple automation of CMM and accessories
The Automation Interface from ZEISS makes it easy to automate your coordinate measuring machine without any engineering effort. In addition to starting measurement plans and providing feedback on measurement results or machine status, the application enables the CMM peripherals to be controlled. For example, the control of automatic fixtures or the pallet infeed can be easily configured in just a few clicks. Customized fixtures that you developed can also be controlled via configuration.
- Standardized communication interfaces: OPC UA, Profinet, EthernetIP
- User management with role assignment
- Can be used in both automatic and manual mode – even by untrained personnel
- Simple configuration via the user interface, without complex PLC programming
