VAST-xxt TL1 TL3 TL4
The VAST-xxt Scanning Sensor comes in three versions: TL3 is by far the most common and is suited for most CMM applications. TL1 springs are less stiff so can be better for measuring soft parts like plastic (a more gentle probing force). TL4 is quite rare but has a stiff spring inside which lends itself to longer styli possibilities. Each has its ow...

However, if we wish to make this contact directly the best email address is accessories.metrology.de@zeiss.com Once example might be a customer purchases an OMNI VICE fixture and reques...
VAST versus VAST-xxt
The VAST- xt is an active scanning sensor while the VAST-xxt is considered passive. The active sensors have force generators inside which act like drives. The passive sensors rely on springs inside to create the measuring force. Active scanning is famous and exclusive to ZEISS. It allows for faster scanning speeds while maintaining accuracy and a...
CMM Checks
CMM Checks are used to help monitor CMM accuracy periodically between calibrations. There are two current alternatives - CMM Check 1.0 and CMM Check 2.0. Note that lead time can take several months, as they are typically not stocked in Maple Grove. CMM Check 1.0 (DuraMax and O-Inspect) 626106-9355-509 - CMM Check 1.0 DuraMax, calibrated (Software...
Artifacts and Certifications
Aftermarket Sales may sell 1) new artifacts and also 2) re-certifications in subsequent years. New CMM Checks are available on the Webshop fur purchase. Other artifacts such as Gauge Blocks may be quoted new after asking Product Management to set up the particular P/N which can be found in PDF on Z Drive. All re-certifications are performed in Germa...
Rotary Joints/ Conical/Cone connection
The “Connection Type” of styli and extensions can be threaded, conical or cone. Conical and Cone are one in the same, they use set screws to hold the styli or adapter in place at a set angle. The benefit of this connection type over the standard threaded connection is the flexibility to adjust the angle of any adapter or star styli. With the multip...
VAST-xxt Adapter Plates Visual Differentiation
Note that the carbide spheres on the top of the plate are in different positions. See illustrations, below: TL1 Plate This is a TL1 adapter plate. Note the side-by-side position of the two carbide spheres at the 12 o'clock position. This plate fits TL1 probe heads. TL2/TL4 Plate This is a TL2/TL4 adapter plate. Note the single carbide sphere at t...
Reference Sphere Calibration
Zeiss does not recommend nor recalibrates reference spheres. The brief reasoning being that any change to the initial recorded size of the reference sphere is actually detrimental to the accuracy of the CMM. If the reference sphere has been damaged in some way, Zeiss does recommend reaching out to the Service Technical Support team at cic.metrology....

Customer care will need the order number or PO they ordered it off of to create a return against it. If a customer would like to return a styli, they need to send an email to the Customer Care Team Mailbox IMT Customer - imtcare@zeiss.com ask...
Sensors: RDS
RDS…. articulating probe holder: The ZEISS RDS articulating probe holder is particularly well-suited for measuring complex parts, where features require many styli with different spatial directions. It reaches up to 20,736 positions in 2.5-degree increments – thus providing access to every part feature. This is made possible by the horizontally and ...
Sensors: Dot Scan
Dot Scan: ZEISS DotScan is an outstanding option for capturing freeform surfaces and even for minute structures. Chromatic white light sensors – and hence also the ZEISS DotScan – are the method of choice, especially when styli or camera sensors reach their limits on sensitive, soft, reflective or low-contrast surfaces. ...
Sensors: ViScan
The hallmark of ZEISS ViScan is its flexibility in all aspects: combined with RDS, it permits measurements in all spatial directions without rechucking the part. Different lenses are also available. ZEISS ViScan is particularly well-suited for the measurement of parts with very small or two-dimensional geometries and/or soft materials such as sheet ...
Reference Sphere - technical info
Reference Sphere… some facts It is very important that the correct reference sphere is used, and that its latest calibrated size is entered into Calypso. It is also essential that the stylus tip and calibration artifacts are scrupulously clean. The smallest amount of dust can lead to an incorrect probe calibration (i.e., the measurement results c...
Multi-Sensor Check - Simple Definition
Multi-Sensor Check The Multi-Sensor check is a nice way to check machine accuracy "interim", meaning between annual calibrations. Many people would measure the "check" artifact once per month to have peace of mind in the machine accuracy. It cannot be used to perform an ISO 10360 calibration though. ISO procedures call for a 12 mont...
Refrigerated Air Dryer
Refrigerated Air Dryer is a service part that should be quoted by Customer Care if customer has a good Zeiss part number 6 digits – 4 digits – 3 digits (xxxxxx-xxxx-xxx). If not, customer can go to CIC, and Hardware Tech Support can provide the Zeiss part number for the appropriate Refrigerated Air Dryer to suit the customer specific serial number ...
ZEISS Styli - Anatomy
A stylus normally consists of three components: Adapter, shaft and stylus tip The adapter The adapter is the connection between the connection thread and the shaft. It is important that the adapter is designed in such a way that it can withstand the measuring force that is introduced via the shaft in an optimum manner. Otherwise there will be an in...
Reach CFX Extensions
Extensions are three types: CFX 1,3,5. The overall influence of the extension on the measuring uncertainty is mainly determined by three factors: weight, thermal expansion and static stiffness. CFX Extension types are equal in weight and thermal expansion. All perform better than aluminum and titanium. A CFX 1 extension will have the most deflect...
Diamond vs. diamond-coated styli
Since a probe starts to wear very quickly, solid diamond is more durable with respect to the application. The solid diamond stylus should also be used to carry out discrete-point probing with high point loading. The diamond-coated stylus is especially suitable for applications with components made of soft materials such as aluminum, titanium, or co...
Reference Sphere Calibration Certificate
The QR code listed on your REF spheres are direct web-links to the DAKKS Cert from SAPHIRWERK. If you scan the QR code with your phone (it is difficult as they are quite small), the link is a download link for the PDF of the DAKKS Cert I was also told that there is a cost for a calibration certificate if we have to request one and that there may be...
Disc and Cylinder Styli - Vast XXT
Disc or Cylinder Styli are not compatible with the XXT and are officially unsupported. There is a very, special and complex method customers might be able to use. It's an “at your own risk” procedure - not recommended. Technical “Work Around”: There is no way to perform the 180 degrees scanning of the sphere with a disc or cylinder stylus which is ...
