Zeiss Eclipse - Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM)

The Zeiss Eclipse is one of our most important tools for quality assurance. The Zeiss "Coordinate-Measuring Machine", also known as a CMM, is a very powerful instrument. It is used to measure the geometric characteristics of a part and is accurate within twenty microns. The Eclipse uses a mechanical probe attached to a movable arm on a fixed bridge that rests above the table. Using this probe, it is possible to check flatness of surfaces in the X, Y, and Z planes as well as check angles, bore holes, and threaded holes for improved accuracy. The Calypso software made by Zeiss is used in tandem with the machine assures unrivaled measurement accuracy and quality control.
