New-generation ZEISS PRISMO CMM cuts measurement program time by 74%

In a ZEISS pilot project hosted by Starrag, the new-generation ZEISS PRISMO 7/12/7 fortis equipped with the high-performance package ZEISS CMM Acceleration Mode for Aerospace Applications combines accuracy and productivity in breathtaking style. Benefits include a remarkable 80% reduction in the rotary table axis definition time and superlative interaction with ZEISS CALYPSO software.

Headquartered in Rorschacherberg, Switzerland, the Starrag Group manufactures machining centres for production solutions that handle turbine blades, blisks, and more, with a major focus on aerospace applications. Precision is crucial in the aerospace industry, and accuracy requirements have become increasingly stringent in recent years. In serving the expanding and widely varying demands of its global customer base, Starrag must perform high-efficiency measurements that deliver very fast, highly accurate, and easily reproducible results.

The pilot project thus saw the new-generation ZEISS PRISMO 7/12/7 fortis being deployed in a vital and highly visible role in the quality lab, and the results wowed Starrag. Starrag's Head of Quality Management, Roland Ziltener, sums it up neatly: As Ziltener notes with a smile, his customers are always “fascinated and somewhat shocked” at how this new-generation CMM combines accuracy and speed on a whole new level.
