Automatic Changingof Stylus Systems
Increase both capacityand productivity
Complex measurements often require the use of several stylus systems.
However, manually changing and calibrating the storage locations is aninefficient process.
The Multi-Sensor-Rack (MSR) is a modular storage concept from ZEISS thatenables automatic component changes for interruption-free measurements.
This saves time and boosts efficiency, particularly for complex
measurements featuring multiple stylus changes in a single workflow.
As an innovation leader with over 100 years of experience in the field,
ZEISS provides a trio of customizable multi-rack solutions for greater
productivity in every application.

A Reliable Storage Solution
ZEISS Multi-Sensor-Rack 2.0
The Multi-Sensor-Rack automation concept is based on integration: Not
only is the MSR integrated into the measuring volume of the CMM itself,
the probe racks are even integrated into the software. This setup istherefore able to remember where each stylus system is placed, further
increasing the efficiency of measurements.

Optimizing Storage Opportunities
Since the new ZEISS MSR 2.0 can be expanded with twostorage bars, it provides more space for probe sockets thanits predecessor. The sensor rack also offers an efficient meansof upgrading existing CMMs and reducing their downtime.
Anyone currently operating its predecessor model ZEISS MSR
mini can take advantage of easy and cost-effective retrofit

Featuring small interference contours and wide-ranging configuration
options, ZEISS Multi-Sensor-Rack MSR 2.0 maximizes the output that canbe achieved with a given stylus or sensor mount.

options to enjoy the advantages.

Advantages and Characteristics• Entry-level model with 20 storage options• Alternative to self-assembly solutions• More storage options than ZEISS MSR mini for thesame price• Modular system is highly versatile, ensuring the rightsolution for every requirement• Optimized connection and customized design• Adjustable for easy handling of additional
components• Can be extended with a third storage level (specialadapter is required)

4Twice the StorageZEISS Multi-Sensor-Rack Duplex
If you need to measure a complex part requiring a large number of stylus
systems, ZEISS Multi-Sensor-Rack Duplex is the ideal choice. Featuring up
to 58 storage options, it offers twice the capacity of the standard version.

More Capacity on Your CMM

The ZEISS MSR Duplex is manually pushed out of the measuring volumeand rotated 180 degrees. It is then fixed in the measuring volume.

systems are calibrated and ready for use.

This innovative approach saves time and boosts efficiency during themeasurement process. Operators can even install an additional third levelfor even more storage options.

Advantages and Characteristics

Two back-to-back rotatable probe racks provide twice as muchroom as a standard rack for your stylus systems. This enables you• With 58 storage options, ZEISS MSR Duplex

ZEISS ProMax E
Uniquely located outside of the CMM measuring volume, ZEISS ProMax E
simply moves forward automatically when needed. After switching to
the required stylus or sensor, it then exits the measuring volume toguarantee collision-free operation. It also ensures safe handling of stylus
systems through proper pick-up out of the probe sockets.
As the measuring volume does not have to accommodate the probe
rack, it enables maximum flexibility for the parts and for the travel pathof the measuring head.

Easy Retrofit
ZEISS Pro Max E ensures high flexibility and safe handlingof stylus systems due to its inherent design characteristics.
It enables highly flexible use of the space as it is locatedAdvantages and Characteristics• Extension for small footprint and therefore moreavailable measuring rangeoutside the CMM measuring volume. This allows the user to• Up to 27 MT/VAST or XTR stylus systems available
