ZEISS XENOS uses innovative silicon carbide ceramics for its main structural components to achieve high precision. Unlike most CMMs, this model uses a linear drive structure for all axes. It also incorporates a newly developed Y-axis dual drive structure called a virtual center drive. These unique features ensure very high repeatability over the entire measurement range. To eliminate uncertainties in temperature compensation, the Zero-Dur scale, known for its zero expansion coefficient, has been used in the development of the ZEISS XENOS.

The ZEISS PRISMO is the flagship model of ZEISS coordinate measuring machines, boasting a guaranteed accuracy of E0, MPE = 0.9+L/350 μm. It is equipped with the VAST XT gold active scanning sensor, which maintains a constant measuring force and minimizes deflection, even during high-speed scanning, to ensure highly accurate measurements. Additionally, each axis guide is supported by air bearings from four directions (top, bottom, left, and right) to prevent twisting of the measuring machine during operation. This stable drive enables efficient, high-speed, and high-precision measurements.

The ZEISS PRISMO fortis, like the top-of-the-line ZEISS PRISMO ultra, is equipped with temperature sensors on both the front and back surfaces of the surface plate. This system can compensate for even the slightest distortion of the surface plate caused by temperature gradients. Additionally, the Zerodur scale, with its extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion, is installed to ensure a wide temperature range of guaranteed accuracy. This allows the machine to be used in production environments with harsh temperature conditions while maintaining high accuracy.
