Full flexibility for your application
The contour and surface measuring machines from ZEISS offer different, sometimes combinable sensors for roughness measurements, contour measurements or both.
SURFCOM NEX Series
FeaturesFuture-proof flexibility
- With two different sizes of granite measuring table and three different sizes of columns to choose from, ZEISS offers a wide range of solutions for various applications.
- Future-proof thanks to multi-sensor capability with optical and tactile sensors.
- All tactile styli are exchangeable without tools or screws.
Furniture solutions
Different furniture choices complete the SURFCOM NEX Series:
- Space-saving DX variation suitable for production
- Solid, attractively-priced FX version with integrated active vibration damping or comprehensive SD desk furniture
Optional features
- The optional CNC kit, consisting of linear and rotary positioning axis, allows higher productivity due to fully automatic measurements.
- Optional topography measurements (optical or contact)
Patented magnetic linear drive for higher efficiency
The patented contact-free magnetic linear drive makes SURFCOM NEX highly efficient and low-maintenance. It enables a positioning speed that is up to seven times faster.
Options
The SURFCOM NEX series offers wide range of solutions. In this way we provide the best solution for your application.
