Building a Robust Metrology Ecosystem with ZEISS CMMs

To ensure the highest quality in their manufacturing processes, Miltera integrated advanced metrology solutions from ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions.

This collaboration began with the installation of the ZEISS CenterMax coordinate measuring machine (CMM), renowned for its stability and reliability due to its vibration-dampening structure and adaptable workpiece base.

Over time, Miltera expanded its metrology arsenal to include another ZEISS CenterMax, a ZEISS GageMax, and a ZEISS MICURA, each tailored to meet specific measurement needs both in the lab and on the shop floor.

Sub-Micron Precision Meets Automation with ZEISS MICURA and GageMax

The ZEISS MICURA, stationed in Miltera's quality lab, offers sub-micron accuracy with a repeatability of under 0.3 microns, making it ideal for parts requiring stringent precision.

Meanwhile, the ZEISS GageMax is seamlessly integrated into fully automated robotic production cells. This integration is facilitated by ZEISS FACS—a module of the ZEISS CALYPSO measuring software.

Furthermore, Michael Blackburn emphasizes the importance of verifying part quality, stating, "How do you know it’s a good part?"

This philosophy underscores Miltera's commitment to precision and quality assurance. The adoption of ZEISS CMMs has been pivotal in achieving these standards, with industry peers unanimously recommending ZEISS for their metrology needs.

Shared Vision Leads to Proven Results

This strategic partnership has empowered Miltera to maintain a competitive edge by ensuring accuracy, reliability, and efficiency in their manufacturing processes.

The integration of ZEISS metrology solutions has not only enhanced Miltera's quality assurance capabilities but also streamlined their production, reinforcing their position as an industry leader in rapid prototyping and precision manufacturing.
