DuraMax is a compact, 3D coordinate measuring machine (CMM) featuring the VAST XXT sensor, and is the ideal replacement for all types of gages. It can be used in any size workshop or in-line process control. DuraMax is suited for process control on the production floor, for the quick in-between inspection of small workpieces, and for testing volume parts directly in production.
DuraMax replaces traditional measuring equipment such as height gages, ring gages, snap gages, plug gages, form measuring machines, workshop measuring equipment and manual measuring machines.
DuraMax meets the needs of users of dimensional measuring technology in many aspects such as the fact that its low total price offers customers affordable access to Zeiss scanning. Users quickly learn to how operate the machine and perform measurements.
The ease of use makes this "scanning machine for everyone" an ideal replacement tool. If modifications are made to the product to be tested, DuraMax, when combined with CAD-based CALYPSO measuring software, quickly, easily and reproducibly measures all changes.
Scanning is a standard feature of DuraMax, but it also offers single-point probing. The VAST XXT scanning sensor scans with high speed. It is known for precision measurements and provides dimensional information on the part features. DuraMax is extremely powerful when combined with CALYPSO software, the standard software for all Zeiss CMs.
An additional benefit is the compact design of DuraMax.
If needed, it can be quickly moved to a different location within the facility - only a forklift is needed. Once connected to a power source, it is immediately ready for action. This is possible because pressurized air is not required.
The key features of DuraMax are its suitability for a rough production environment, the high permissible temperature variations and the minimal space requirements.
