ZEISS PRISMO

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 probe), for even more operational flexibility.
