Carl Zeiss is expanding its CONTURA® G2 product line. Already very popular with mid-sized companies, it now includes the very accurate and fast CONTURA G2 navigator coordinate measuring machine. The dynamic navigator technology from Carl Zeiss delivers a considerable improvement to the scanning speed without sacrificing measuring accuracy. Quickly navigating from one feature to the next is now a given. With the introduction of CONTURA G2 navigator, this unique technology is now available in this class for the first time.
CONTURA G2 navigator is available with measuring ranges of X = 700, Y = 700 and Z = 600 millimeters and X = 700, Y = 1000 and Z = 600 millimeters. The technological features include the highly sensitive VAST® XT gold active probe, CAD-based CALYPSO® measuring software in conjunction with the VAST navigator option and an intelligent scanning engine for a control unit. The optimal interaction of these elements delivers considerably higher productivity than traditional scanning – through very short calibration times; very fast determination of size, form and position; and precise measurements even with complex stylus systems. Additional practical benefits include the self-centering probing function, mechanical collision protection and automatic counterbalancing every time the stylus is changed. Styli with a length of up to 500 millimeters and weight of up to 500 grams can be used. CONTURA G2 navigator also achieves the length measuring error threshold of MPEE = 1.5 + L/333 as an HTG measuring machine (High Temperature Gradient) for the expanded temperature range of 18-26 degrees Celsius. Equipped with additional temperature sensors, the measuring machine can also be operated with minimal climatization.
