Zeiss prismo family

ZEISS PRISMO ultra

Maximum precision

ZEISS PRISMO ultra improves the precision within the ZEISS PRISMO family even further and achieves a length measurement error of only 0.5 + L/500 µm. The coordinate measuring machine is therefore particularly suitable for tasks where maximum precision is required, such as in research, development, quality assurance and when calibrating gauges or test specimens in reference measuring rooms or measuring laboratories.

Maximum accuracy and reproducibility

High-precision results thanks to improved functions

The high degree of basic accuracy of ZEISS PRISMO ultra is achieved by numerous modern functions and corrections. These include thermal bending compensation, an active pneumatic damping system, improved air bearings and ZERODUR® scales with a resolution of 20 nm – for remarkable precision and stability. Further CAA improvements such as optimized tensor calibration, compensation of the bending of the reference sphere and corrections for RT measurements ensure maximum precision even at high speeds and support excellent stability of the CMM by protecting it from interfering factors.

Optional form measurement package with RT-AB select

Form measurement with quality guarantee

ZEISS PRISMO ultra can be optionally equipped with a form measurement package for optimized form measurement values. In addition to the RT-AB select, this also contains a special probe set and a set for defining the RT axis and guarantees the calibration value of a ring gauge with an accuracy of 0.2 μm or better – confirmed by a leading German institute. Measurement tolerances from 2-3 μm for roundness and cylindricity can be measured with ZEISS PRISMO ultra according to the golden rule of measurement technology.

Adapted and optimized manufacturing process

Customized installation and acceptance

Before delivery, every ZEISS PRISMO ultra granite plate undergoes a three-month acclimatization process. The final inspection takes place in a special air-conditioned chamber. After installation, a precision test is carried out, followed 4 to 6 weeks later by an acceptance test by an expert. This process guarantees maximum accuracy and quality.

A new era begins with ZEISS PRISMO ultra

More than just a facelift: The products in the ZEISS PRISMO family have been completely redesigned. With numerous upgrades, safety, economic and environmental efficiency, flexibility, ergonomics and, last but not least, productivity have reached a whole new level. By adjusting the scanning parameters and doubling the scanning speed (from 150 mm/s to 300 mm/s), productivity was increased. At the same time, the noise level was reduced by 34%. From an energy-saving controller and a control panel with a new design to automated safety mechanisms and improved probe compatibility – the products in the ZEISS PRISMO family are more powerful than ever before.

Productivity is increased by adjusting the scanning parameters with the general doubling of the scanning speed (from 150 mm/s to 300 mm/s). New safety laser scanners also enable significantly faster measurement than before – while reliably maintaining high safety standards, as the scanners automatically reduce speed when they detect people or objects in the safety zone. The ZEISS VAST Rotary Table Axis (ZVRA) option also ensures higher productivity. Axis definition on a rotary table now takes just 16 seconds with this function – a time saving of 75% compared to standard methods.
All CMMs in the ZEISS PRISMO family are certified by the internationally recognized German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV). To further increase safety, additional innovations have been introduced, such as the adjustable side panels. By reducing the distance between the moving parts to less than 4 mm, the crushing hazard is reduced. The safety laser scanners also detect the coordinate measuring machine’s surroundings and automatically reduce speed as soon as people or objects are detected in the defined zone.
With the built-in ZEISS PowerSaver, the CMM is automatically disconnected from the power supply when not in use. Users can set the activation of the function individually and define specific downtimes, which reduces power consumption. The new ZEISS C99m controller ensures further savings. It has a slimmer design and reduces power consumption by 64% compared to the previous model (in an internal test comparison between the old and new controller). In addition, ZEISS AirSaver ensures that the compressed air is switched off after a preset time.
Control via the control panel ensures easy monitoring and operability. When not in use, it can be conveniently stored in the new control panel holder. Most of the switches were also transferred directly from the controller to the control panel. In addition, a new cover on the front ensures a reduced distance between the operator and the measuring volume, which is easier on the operator when loading heavy components.
ZEISS-mass technology enables a wide variety of probes with ZEISS PRISMO. Thanks to the new ZEISS C99m controller, the CMM is now also compatible with two additional probes: ZEISS ROTOS (roughness sensor) and ZEISS LineScan (optical prone), for even more operational flexibility.

More sustainability in your measurement processes with ZEISS PRISMO

At the heart of every machine use is energy consumption, which plays a key role in the active utilization phase and has a significant impact on the environmental balance. Thanks to its energy-saving functions and a newly developed, energy-efficient control system, ZEISS PRISMO is a prime example of efficient resource consumption in the field of industrial measurement technology. The ZEISS PRISMO family stands for durability and sets new standards in terms of precision, speed and sustainability.

The new ZEISS PRISMO family is equipped with the new C99m control unit, which reduces power consumption by 64% compared to previous models.

More sustainability in your measurement processes with ZEISS PRISMO

With the ZEISS PowerSaver feature, the machine is disconnected from the power supply when not in use and power consumption is reduced to zero during downtimes. Users can define the activation of the ZEISS PowerSaver at specific times.
