ZEISS Multi-Application Sensor System (mass) Technology
A variety of probes on the CMM
Coordinate measuring machines with ZEISS mass technology
Variety of sensors
The various sensors, whether optical or tactile, active or passive, have different advantages and areas of application. (See table for compatibility)
ZEISS VAST XTR gold
Tactile sensor with integrated swivel joint for measurements in angular position.
ZEISS VAST XXT
The tactile sensor can be used to scan with a high degree of accuracy.
ZEISS VAST gold
For tactile scanning and discrete-point measurements
ZEISS XDT
To capture the entire surface of shapes using point clouds
ZEISS VAST XT gold
Tactile sensor with integrated swivel joint for measurements in angular position.
ZEISS DotScan
The basis for getting started with active scanning technology

Simple sensor change-out in 3 steps
Mounting the sensor
The dovetail mechanism makes it particularly easy to change the sensor. Only one screw needs to be loosened to replace the sensor. This means that any probe head can be changed easily and conveniently – whether ZEISS VAST XXT, which is mounted on an RDS, or other tactile and optical probes.
Locking the sensor in place
The new sensor is locked in place with a single screw. This is tightened with a defined torque of 2 NM. There is no need to plug in additional cables as all connections are protected inside the ram and damage is ruled out.
Automatic sensor detection
Each ZEISS sensor is equipped with an ID chip that is automatically recognized by the coordinate measuring machine during initial operation and is selected in the ZEISS CALYPSO measuring software. This system eliminates operating errors and allows users to concentrate on the things that really matter – their measuring tasks.
Investing in the future
The mass technology from ZEISS has advantages for many quality assurance tasks.
