ZEISS Stylus Portfolio
First contact point to your workpiece
The stylus is the tip of the stylus system and is the first pointof contact to the workpiece. Even the construction of the stylus,
impacts the stylus system and thus the measurement result.

Advanced production technologies
Quality makes the difference: Styli may be small, but they are thepart of a coordinate measuring machine that touches the workpiece
to be measured and performs highly accurate measurements via therespective measuring probe tip.
In addition to using high-end materials, ZEISS applies the latest
technologies such as soldering and laser processing to significantly
increase stylus quality and service life.

OtherlaseredZEISS Stylus Portfolio
Advanced production technologies
SolderingZEISS relies exclusively on a new type of connection between
the shaft and the ball. A vacuum soldering process achieves
maximum stability and increases the service life enormously.
The disadvantages of an adhesive connection, such as aging or
the influence of moisture, are thus eliminated.

However, closer observation under the microscope shows that ahigh level of technical competence is required to establish asoldered connection

Advanced production technologies
Laser processing
ZEISS is the only manufacturer of styli that uses laser
technology to machine shafts. Unlike traditional grinding,this enables the creation of a polished surface that
reduces the shaft break by more than 50% in dailyuse.
A more accurate observation of the surfaces under themicroscope shows the generation of possible fractures bythe grinding process compared to the laser-machined surfgrinded

Take good care of your styli
Even high-quality styli are consumable items that are subject
to wear and material build-up. Cleaning and inspecting yourstyli on a regular basis is therefore essential for achieving
measurement results with maximum accuracy.

ZEISS Stylus Portfolio
Take good care of your styli
No WearDiamond!Scan styli do not wear on account of their hardness when extremely hard materials such as ceramic are measured. You can rely on
your measurement, because the diamond sphere retains its high-precision form and contributes to a precise measurement of the flatness of thishard workpiece surface.

No material build-up
No material adheres to diamond spheres, not even with extremely soft aluminum alloys. Diamond!Scan spheres retain their high-precision form
at all times, thereby preventing additional measuring uncertainties.

ZEISS REACH CFX

Q&A

ZEISS REACH CFX
No more downgrading
To distinguish good parts from rejects having reliablemeasuring results is a necessity. This can only be achieved
when keeping the measuring uncertainty at a minimum.
Using extensions that don’t have the right properties has adirect negative influence on the overall measuring uncertainty
and therefore downgrades the accuracy your CMM couldachieve.
The overall influence of the extension on the measuring
uncertainty is mainly determined by three factors: weight,
thermal expansion and static stiffness.
Using ZEISS REACH CFX can decrease the influence of theextension on the CMM measuring uncertainty by up to 5 times
compared to Titanium.
