ZEISS Originals

When a used coordinate measuring machine arrives at the reconditioning center, the team of experts begins with the technical and mechanical inspection and analysis. This includes a precise check of all components of the used coordinate measuring machine and, of course, a functional test with various standardized test scenarios.

In the reconditioning phase, all parts of the coordinate measuring machine that showed defects or signs of wear during the inspection are replaced. These include, for example, drive motors, scales and various wear parts.

Not only the hardware, but also the measuring software of the used coordinate measuring machine gets an upgrade. The system is upgraded to the latest technical standard. Which parts receive an update is defined before work begins (e.g. controller, probe, stylus, reference sphere, etc.).

Coordinate measuring machines that have only served as demonstration machines often look immaculate. However, optical defects are not uncommon in used measurement technology that has been in use in a company. These are also rectified. This includes, for example, repairing the granite plate or renewing the cover.

After complete reconditioning, the used machine is thoroughly tested again according to ZEISS new machine specifications. If the refurbished coordinate measuring machine passes the inspection, it is then certified. The warranty certificate is supplied with the machine.

Once the process is complete, the ZEISS Originals coordinate measuring machine is handed over to its new owner. The system is supplied with a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty and spare parts availability of 6 - 10 years (depending on the model).
