ZEISS CMM Acceleration Mode For Aerospace Applications

ZEISS VAST Rotary Table Axis (ZVRA) defines the axis of the rotary table, providing an essential basis for accurate and reliable measurement. Where axis definition previously involved six single-point measurements, ZVRA performs one continuous movement in a fraction of the time. What sets this new method apart is that the sensor moves along a track at an even height, meaning that the process consists of a single smooth motion with no unnecessary travel. By offering considerable time savings, the ZVRA encourages the more frequent definition of the rotary table axis and, therefore, further boosts accuracy, safety, and productivity.

ZEISS VAST Rotary Table (ZVR) enables faster movement of the rotary table, which in turn means faster measurement times. As workpieces are measured on different levels, the higher rotation speed supported by ZVR results in significant efficiency gains.

While angular speeds were formerly limited to 50°/s, ZVR achieves 220°/s if the moment of inertia is below 1 kg·m². ZVR works with the safety laser scanners, automatically triggering a safety mode if a hazard is detected. The reduced speed ensures productive and responsible operation if the issue persists. The standard speed is automatically enabled once the hazard is resolved.

ZEISS CMM Acceleration Mode for Aerospace Applications includes a dedicated application support package for even more customized deployment if needed. Services include adjusting detection parameters and machine parameters, such as the acceleration ramp of the individual X, Y, Z, and RT axes. These parameters are, therefore, tailored to specific measurement and application requirements based on specific geometrical and physical issues.
