Contura

Zeiss Industrial Metrology specializes in high accuracy measurement systems, including coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), computed tomography measurement machines (non-medical), optical measuring equipment, metrology software, and measurement sensor systems. Industrial measuring technology from Carl Zeiss ensures maximum standards of quality wherever high precision is a must.

Info

The latest generation is even more precise and offers a large package of optical sensors on top of a larger measuring range.

Outstanding scanning technology, ZEISS CALYPSO reference software and a highly tuned overall concept enable ZEISS Contura to cement its place as the standard in its class.

Convenient control

The system is controlled via a user-friendly control panel and does not need a computer. The progressive joystick enables easier and more precise control of all axis movements. The speed can be regulated in CNC mode.

Computer-Aided Accuracy (CAA)

The bridge is subjected to dynamic forces that can affect accuracy, particularly while scanning. ZEISS Contura calculates the compensation for such inertia effects. This ensures that the required precision remains intact even at high measuring speeds.

Robust and precise

Depending on the configuration, ceramic or CARAT guideways are used on ZEISS Contura for high rigidity, low thermal expansion, and minimal moving weights. Air bearings in all three axes ensure consistent stability even at high travel speeds and acceleration.

The floating glass ceramic scales on ZEISS Contura are practically expansion free and therefore do not require any additional temperature sensors or mathematical compensation. They are suitable for the shop floor and are protected against contamination and other influences.

Sensor variations

ZEISS Contura comes with a fixed passive sensor, the flexible ZEISS RDS articulating probe holder or with an active scanning probe. All sensor variations enable scanning. ZEISS navigator technology comes standard with the active version – for smooth measurements without a stop and go.

Options

HTG (High Temperature Gradient) for a larger temperature range (18° C-26° C) with the same measuring uncertainty. Features temperature sensors for the workpiece.
Integrated sensor rack for maximum reproducibility without recalibration
QuickChange fast sensor change-out for active probes
ZEISS AirSaver for up to 60% less consumption of compressed air
