ZEISS CALENO
When it comes to completing as many car body measurementtasks as possible on one system, ZEISS has a superior solution:
the new ZEISS CALENO Hambot. It offers maximum versatility
and the highest performance levels in all measurement disciplines. Its combination of high-performance optical and tactile
sensors ensures maximum productivity and precision – not onlyin the measuring room, but on the shop floor as well. Anotherimportant advantage is that because of the model safety equipment, operators can work without any concerns on or in theZEISS CALENO Hambot.

Measure geometrical features in record time with ZEISS EagleEye, then digitize
large free-form surfaces using the same sensor.
Use the automatically substituted tactile sensor to take optimally accurate
reference measurements, e.g. for correlation measurements. Capture difficultto-access features by tactile means using ZEISS ThermoFit extensions of up to800 mm. All on the same system. All without wasting time.

9Collaborate safelywith ZEISS CALENO
No matter how careful people are, human error can never be completely
ruled out in everyday measuring tasks. That is why the ZEISS CALENO
Hambot features unique, multi-layered safety equipment. First andforemost, this protects operators. However, it also protects the valuable
measuring sensors from damage.

Safety equipment on thecoordinate measuring machine
Friction drives
ZEISS CALENO is equipped with friction
drives on all axes. If an obstacle isblocking the machine, the corresponding friction wheel slips through. Thismechanically pre-limits the potential
impacting force in a collision. Registeredslip errors lead to an immediate shutdownof the system.
Overcurrent cut-out
If an obstacle is blocking the path ofZEISS CALENO, it results in higher
current consumption. When the defined
limit values are exceeded, the machine
shuts down. The protective effect of theovercurrent cut-off operates in parallelwith the friction wheel principle.

Safety edges for collision
protection
Both sides of the Y-arm are at a particularly high risk of collision. Sensor strips
are therefore attached along the fulllength of this part of the ZEISS CALENO
as standard. If the narrow elastic pipes
are deformed during contact, themachine immediately shuts down. And
since the smart sensors take up hardly
any space, they do not cause any disruption during measuring.
10Protective equipment on thesensor carrier
Collision protection for the sensor
In ZEISS DSC and ZEISS RDS-CAA, theconnection point to the sensor is springmounted. In the event of a collision, thesensor can bend, thus protecting it fromdamage. At the same time, the bending
leads to an immediate shutdown of themeasuring machine.
Optimal collision protection for thesensor carrier
The Y-arm connection point on ZEISS DSC
and ZEISS RDS-CAA can be equippedwith a spring-mounted bending point forcollision protection.

Perfectly equipped
for your tasks
In every respect, ZEISS CALENO is designed for top performance and,even with only the basic equipment, satisfies the highest expectationsof a ZEISS HAM system. You can also configure the system to meet yourindividual requirements. In this way, you achieve maximum performance
tailored to your use.

High temperature stability in any
environment
Each ZEISS CALENO has a lightweight,
removable full enclosure in a modern
design that ensures thermal insulationand protects against soiling. For all
structurally relevant components, ZEISS
consistently uses steel, which also evenallows for thermal expansion. The combination gives ZEISS CALENO extraordinarily high temperature stability, making
