RECORD SURFACE AND CONTOUR DATA IN

Carl Zeiss Industrial Measuring Technology (IMT) introduces two new combination instruments to its Surfcom line, the Surfcom 2000 and the Surfcom 5000. Both dual measuring instruments are capable of capturing surface and contour values with a single measuring run. These machines feature new detector and stylus systems. Surfcom 2000 has a probing range of ±2.5mm and Surfcom 5000 delivers a probing range of up to ±6.5mm at a resolution of 0.31nm.This combination of a roughness sensor and a large deflection range is the heart of the new Surfcom 2000 and Surfcom 5000 measuring units. Along with a reduced measuring time and the corresponding increase in productivity, this system is very easy to use; changing styli is no longer neccessary.

SURFCOM 2000: MANUAL AND CNC SUPPORTED MEASURING With patented linear motor technology in the tracer driver, Surfcom 2000 handles quick, accurate measuring and fast travel speeds. This results in reduced wear-and- tear and significantly lowers maintenance costs. The proven features of previous Surfcom machines were integrated into Surfcom 2000, including the modular construction, varying column heights, large face plates and large tracer drivers. The Surfcom 2000 measuring instrument can be reconfigured into a fully automatic CNC measuring station with the new CNC table modules. Programming with the TIMS software platform permits fully automatic CNC measuring runs.

SURFCOM 5000: EXTREMELY FAST, EXTREMELY ACCURATE Surfcom 5000 offers quick measuring speeds with outstanding accuracies. Reduced measuring times and increased product quality are the visible results with this highly accurate surface and contour analysis instrument. The frictionless linear motor technology in the tracer unit and the laser-guided measuring unit reduce maintenance costs and minimize wear- and-tear. The modular design permits expansion to a topography measuring instrument that allows for recording surfaces in 3D mode. The fully automatic programming option in the TIMS software makes this instrument extremely user- friendly and reduces complexity.
