Zeiss DURAMAX
The ZEISS DuraMax is a highly robust and precise coordinate measuring machine (CMM) specifically designed for demanding at-line measurement directly within production environments. Unlike traditional CMMs that require controlled lab settings, the DuraMax is built to withstand harsh conditions, including high temperatures, dust, and vibrations, making it an ideal choice for shop floor quality control.
- Robustness and environmental resistance: The DuraMax boasts a robust design with high dust and moisture protection (IP54 rated ShopFloor base) and thermal stability, allowing it to perform accurately even in challenging environments. The DuraMax HTG model can operate in an even wider temperature range (15°C to 40°C).
- High precision and advanced scanning: Equipped with the ZEISS VAST XXT-Sensor, the DuraMax delivers highly accurate measurements, including both single-point probing and high-density scanning of contours and free-form surfaces. This eliminates the need for numerous dedicated gauges and manual inspection tools, increasing efficiency and detail in quality control.
- Efficiency and speed: The DuraMax is designed for optimal measurement volume and footprint ratio, saving valuable space on the shop floor. Features like the ZEISS Duplex System for increased throughput and the option for four-axis measurement with a rotary table further reduce operating times and maximize efficiency.
- Ease of use and automation: The machine can be loaded from multiple sides, features a practical stylus rack, and requires minimal space, making it easy to integrate into existing production lines. The DuraMax can be easily automated with the ZEISS Automation Interface for seamless integration into various processes.
- Flexible and future-proof: Object-oriented programming using ZEISS CALYPSO software enables flexible measurement plans that can be easily adapted to new parts or engine generations. This adaptability helps reduce costs associated with fixed gauges and specialized tooling
The ZEISS DuraMax is suitable for a wide range of industries and processes, including:
- Automotive (e.g., engine production)
- Medical/Pharmaceutical
- Aerospace
- Electronics
- Plastics industry
- Metal product manufacturing
- Milling, drilling, turning, grinding, additive manufacturing, and injection molding processes
The DuraMax allows manufacturers to bring coordinate measuring technology directly to the production floor, reducing the need for separate measuring rooms and enabling faster, more accurate, and reliable quality control, ultimately leading to higher efficiency and reduced costs
