Zeiss PiWeb reporting plus software is also available, enabling customized measurement reporting, allowing Spectrum owners to deliver measure- ment reports in formats their custom- er’s need. PiWeb also monitors trends in key measurement results, making that information available faster so manufacturing process adjustments can be made earlier. For specific inspection jobs, Zeiss Spectrum CMM can be configured accordingly. With the RDS-C5 articu- lating probe holder and VAST XXT multi-point scanning sensor, it can measure angled features in difficult- to-reach locations. The RDS/XXT offers +/- 180° rotation in X, Y and Z, reaching 5,184 angular positions and is best suited for general prismatic measurement applications. The CMM’s are available in mea- suring volumes from 500 mm x 500 mm x 600 mm to 700 mm x 1000 mm x 600 mm. The Zeiss C99L intelligent scanning controller is mounted on the CMM. Wrap-around air bearings are used on ceramic guideways to provide rigidity and stability at maxi- mum speeds and accelerations. The guideways are resistant to corrosion, wear and temperature. Measurement uncertainty specifications are based on an integrated system design that is calibrated to ISO10360 standards.
