Carl Zeiss Metrology XENOS

ZEISS XENOS is at home wherever maximum precision is demanded – in
the measuring labs of research institutes, the aerospace industry
and the optical industry. The high-end machine combines precision
at the limits of what is technically feasible with a measuring
range of nearly one cubic meter.

Innovative mechanical design

ZEISS XENOS impresses with its new mechanical design based on the proven ZEISS CenterMax.
Unlike the standard bridge-type design, the Y guideways are on top of the side walls which
separate all moving axes from the clamping area. Because only the cross beam moves in the
Y direction, there are lower moving masses. This remains constant at all times – a real
benefit compared to a moving table. Together, the weight reduction and constantly moving
masses enable optimal coordination of the drives regarding acceleration and maximum speed.

Linear drives in all axes

ZEISS XENOS uses linear drives on all axes. The benefits: high speeds, very fast acceleration,
high positioning accuracy and shear force-free drives. In conjunction with the highresolution
scales, the use of linear drives on ZEISS XENOS provide very high path adherence and extremely
high positioning accuracy below 100 nanometers. For example, the stylus deflection remains
more constant, which results in higher accuracy. Another benefit is evident when measuring
curved surfaces: the more reliably and accurately a stylus follows the specified path, the
more precisely errors can be determined.

Virtual central drive

XENOS from ZEISS features two linear drives in the Y direction, which are synchronized via
a new technology developed by ZEISS: the central drive. It ensures optimal force distribution
of the drives depending on the position of the X axis. This is enabled by the latest generation
of controller and algorithm. It is a key element of maximum accuracy and the best possible path
adherence throughout the measuring range.

Silicon-carbide ceramic

ZEISS XENOS uses an innovative silicon-carbide ceramic for the parts of the machine structure
relevant to accuracy. Until now, this material has rarely been used for a comparable part size
or accuracy. Compared to the standard aluminum-oxide ceramic, silicon-carbide ceramic exhibits
around 50 percent lower thermal expansion, up to 30 percent higher rigidity and 20 percent less
weight. Compared to steel, it delivers twice the rigidity at half the weight.

Enhanced VAST gold

ZEISS XENOS comes standard with the VAST gold reference probe from ZEISS. During development of
ZEISS XENOS, this powerful sensor from ZEISS was further optimized for better accuracy and
repeatability. The more rigid connection to the ram on ZEISS XENOS is also new. The VAST gold
sensor is designed for styli up to 800 millimeters long and stylus weights up to 500 grams,
including asymmetrical stylus configurations.

Optimized air bearings

New air bearings with an even more rigid connection enhance stability and and therefore enable better accuracy.

Improved electronics design

The influence on precision of moving cables on all coordinate measuring machines has been
clearly reduced through the improved decoupling and a new electronics concept featuring
decentralized modules. New Computer-Aided Accuracy (CAA) acceptance methods and additional
CAA corrections are playing an increasingly vital role in achieving maximum accuracy
