[Ch...] Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I showed this to the ex Cat guys that work here because I thought it would impress them. They said that is nothing compared to the big one in Decatur for the 797's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Mi...] Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 So are large ones like these basically custom-made by Zeiss? Is their hardware modular enough that they can basically scale it up to whatever size you need, made-to-order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ja...] Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 Haha! Thank you everyone! I just thought I'd see if I could arouse a little CMM envy. She's not the biggest or the baddest, but she's fun. Measurement volume is X: 2500 Y: 5000 Z: 2000. Repeatability seems to be somewhere around 8 microns or so. The concrete pad it lives on is isolated in its own 9ft "pit" with self-leveling air bladders; a far cry from the little Zeiss Eclipse I learned on.
