Zeiss XENOS - Ultra high precision three coordinate system

Innovative mechanical design

The new mechanical design of ZEISS XENOS is based on the validated ZEISS CenterMax, which is impressive. Unlike standard bridge measuring machines, the Y-rail is distributed on the top of the side wall, and the separated travel axis only moves the crossbeam in the Y-axis direction, resulting in a smaller and constant moving weight - a true advantage compared to mobile platforms. The lower and constant moving weight creates a perfect unity of acceleration and maximum speed.

All axes are driven linearly
All axes of XENOS are driven linearly. Its advantages include high speed, extremely fast acceleration, high positioning accuracy, and no shear force on the drive. Combined with ultra-high resolution grating ruler technology, the linear drive of XENOS can achieve high stability and extremely high positioning accuracy below 100 nanometers. For example, the more constant the offset of the measuring needle, the better the measurement accuracy can be obtained. Another advantage is more evident when measuring surfaces: the more the movement path of the measuring needle matches the predetermined value, the better the accuracy can be achieved.

Virtual central driver
Another advantage is more evident when measuring surfaces: the more the movement path of the measuring needle matches the predetermined value, the better the accuracy can be achieved. The virtual central drive XENOS is equipped with a bilinear drive system in the Y-axis, thanks to Zeiss' latest central drive technology for excellent synchronous control. This technology can perfectly distribute the driving force based on the X-axis position as a perfect combination of the latest control system and algorithm, which is a key factor in achieving excellent measurement accuracy and motion stability throughout the entire measurement range.

Silicon carbide ceramic XENOS uses innovative silicon carbide ceramic materials on machine components closely related to precision. So far, this material has never been used on similar products or precision measuring machines. Compared with conventional ceramics, the thermal expansion of silicon carbide ceramics is reduced by about 50%, while the rigidity can be increased by up to 30%, while reducing weight by 20%.
