ZEISS PRISMO
ZEISS PRISMO
Reference-Class Accuracy and High-Speed Coordinate Metrology
When manufacturing tolerances leave absolutely no room for compromise, the ZEISS PRISMO stands as the global benchmark for reference-class coordinate measuring machines. Engineered for maximum precision under high-speed operation, this flagship platform delivers outstanding data integrity for your most critical quality assurance workflows.
By combining unparalleled structural rigidity with advanced dynamic features, the system ensures maximum reliability during high-throughput testing, allowing facilities to achieve rapid cycle times without sacrificing sub-micron accuracy.
Key Capabilities
Reference-Class Measurement Accuracy
Utilises a highly rigid portal architecture with ceramic guideways and a carbon-fibre reinforced polymer bridge, achieving an exceptional length measurement error down to 0.5 + L/500 µm.
High-Speed Active Scanning
Equipped with active tactile probing that captures high-density data point clouds at maximum velocity, significantly reducing cycle times for complex geometries.
VAST Navigator Technology
Features intelligent path optimization software that automatically calculates the fastest possible scanning speed for any given tolerance requirement, preventing dynamic measuring errors.
FlyScan Non-Stop Data Acquisition
Enables the probe head to fly smoothly over interrupted surfaces, holes, and slots without stopping, shortening inspection paths and saving up to 40% in operational testing time.
Thermally Insulated Enclosure
The structure is completely enclosed in high-performance thermal insulation glass, deflecting short-term temperature fluctuations and maintaining calibration stability.
Computer-Aided Accuracy (CAA)
Integrates real-time geometric error compensation across all axes, correcting for minuscule structural deflections dynamically induced during high-speed travel.
