Automation doesn’t always have to start with a fully automated setup.
For manufacturers looking to take the next step in 3D metrology, semi-automation offers a practical way to bring greater efficiency and consistency into everyday inspection.

ZEISS ScanPort makes that transition more accessible, providing an intuitive entry into automated 3D metrology.

What happens when a component is put to the test?

Understanding its dynamic behaviour can provide valuable insights beyond static measurement, supporting engineers in testing, validation and product development.

For the analysis and evaluation of motion data, ZEISS CORRELATE software provides the tools to visualise and interpret these dynamic measurement results — turning complex behaviour into clearer engineering insights.

See more than movement. Understand what’s happening behind it.
Designed for the analysis and evaluation of motion data, ZEISS CORRELATE software transforms captured movement into measurable insights — helping engineers better understand how components behave during testing.

With tools for analysis, visualisation and reporting, complex measurement results become easier to interpret and communicate.

What happens to a material during forming isn’t always obvious from the finished component alone.

Having measurable insight into the forming process gives engineers a clearer understanding of material behaviour — useful during development, tool try-out and production troubleshooting when decisions need to be backed by data.

ARGUS brings optical forming analysis into this process, providing another layer of information for understanding what is happening across the component.

Because sometimes, what you can measure tells you far more than what you can see.

Sheet metal may look like a finished component, but its final shape only tells part of the story.

Understanding what happens to the material during forming can give engineers valuable insight during product development, tool try-out and production troubleshooting.

ARGUS brings measurable insight into the sheet metal forming workflow, helping engineers make more informed decisions as they develop, validate and refine their processes.

Because better understanding of the material can lead to better decisions throughout the forming process.

There’s more to a photograph than what we see — in metrology, it can become a source of measurable information.

Photogrammetry is particularly valuable when traditional measurement setups become less practical, giving manufacturers another approach for tackling larger-scale dimensional inspection.
It’s also the measurement principle behind TRITOP, which we featured last Friday.

Sometimes, a different perspective is quite literally what gives you the measurement you need.
