ZEISS SPECTRUM Family

ZEISS SPECTRUM family

Unmatched Performance and Flexibility in its class

Benefits

The ZEISS SPECTRUM family offers the best price-performance ratio and solutions that are tailored to your needs – be it single point measuring, scanning mode, RDS for complex structures or optical measuring. This enables easy decision-making based on the application.

Scanning technology you can trust

Scanning technology you can trust

ZEISS SPECTRUM provides the highest performance in its class. By scanning a multitude of single points, errors from single point measurements are eliminated and a greater certainty of results is achieved.

Tactile and optical scanning

Tactile and optical scanning

With the new LineScan One laser scanner, ZEISS SPECTRUM offers tactile and optical scanning in one system. Dual scanning possibilities enable a higher efficiency for the growing demand of geometrically complex workpieces.

Smart footprint & measuring volume

Smart footprint & measuring volume

The small footprint of 2.2 m2 (including the backpack controller box) leaves more space in the measuring room. Moreover, the compact design of the new sensor saves 30% of the measurement space.

System stability & reliability

System stability & reliability

ZEISS SPECTRUM is equipped with glass ceramic scales that are virtually expansion-free over a wide range of temperatures. A stiffer base frame and tripod construction offer perfect force transition and earthquake protection.

Flexibility & efficiency

Flexibility & efficiency

ZEISS SPECTRUM’s step range of 5° in A and B axes enables 5,184 possible positions; ZEISS SPECTRUM verity’s step range of 2,5° achieves 20,736 positions. With CAA, the time for full qualification only takes 12 minutes.

Ergonomics & usability

Ergonomics & usability

The machine operator benefits form a user-friendly and ergonomic working position in front of the CMM. The reduced overall height and footprint of ZEISS SPECTRUM further support ergonomic working conditions.

Flexible scanning

ZEISS SPECTRUM is equipped to be the ideal match from measuring small electronics up to larger housings in the automotive industry.

  • Reliable tactile and active scanning

    Reliable tactile and active scanning

    Tactile scanning technology from ZEISS offers great operational safety, accuracy, and throughput. Entire parts can be measured in one fluid and continuous movement, enabling faster speeds, the removal of environmental influences, and the capture of far more data.

    With the ZEISS VAST XT gold sensor, ZEISS SPECTRUM verity also offers active scanning. This system uses software-controlled electromagnets and force controllers that exert net zero force. It achieves greater accuracy at even faster measuring speeds and is also ideal for non-standard geometries.

  • ZEISS SoftTouch Mode with the VAST XXT TL1 sensor enables tactile measurement of a tiny and flexible metal part without bending it.

    ZEISS SoftTouch Mode with VAST XXT TL1

    The ZEISS SoftTouch Mode of VAST XXT TL1 sensors achieves the best tactile measurement performance possible in this class for very small structures and easily bending sheet metal. Due to the reduced bending of the material, SoftTouch Mode offers repeatability, higher measuring speed and great accuracy for deflecting parts – both with single point and scanning measurements.

    Customers have the flexibility to select either higher efficiency or higher accuracy for standard and flexible parts. The precise and quick results save up to 40% measurement cycle time.

  • The optical sensor ZEISS LineScan One with RDS on ZEISS SPECTRUM.

    LineScan One for optical scanning

    LineScan One is an optical laser triangulation sensor for capturing huge point clouds to compare nominal with actual geometry. The option for optical scanning makes ZEISS SPECTRUM unique in its class.

    LineScan One at a glance:

    • Good price-performance ratio
    • High accuracy with 20 microns
    • Direct powerful software integration in ZEISS CALYPSO for a single ease-of-use interface and expanded functions in the future (4-axis measurement with rotary table)
    • Very fast with 232 960 points per second

Applications

  • Industry

    With ZEISS SPECTRUM, you can measure industrial parts such as CNC parts, housings for accessories and mechanical components.

  • Electronics

    ZEISS SPECTRUM is ideal for scanning small electronics including connectors, housings, middle frames or thin foils.

  • Automotive

    In the automotive industry, ZEISS SPECTRUM is suitable for small housings, stamped parts, CNC-machined parts, and plastic parts.

  • Job workshops

    ZEISS SPECTRUM is a great match for measuring manufacturing parts, sheet metal parts, stamping parts, and plastic parts.

ZEISS CALYPSO

ZEISS CALYPSO Software

Software for dimensional measurement technology

ZEISS CALYPSO measures standard geometries simply, quickly and reliably. Program inspection plans easily by clicking on the desired features. Travel paths are generated automatically and optimally by the software. Thanks to numerous optional extensions, ZEISS CALYPSO also offers the right tools for special requirements, for example with ZEISS CALYPSO VAST probing and ZEISS CALYPSO pallet optimizer. These functions allow measurements to be carried out up to 25% faster.
