[Aa...] Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 I'm just trying to confirm my suspicions about the availability of the VCMM add-on for Calypso that is discribed here. If you know whether or not it's available to you, please reply "yes" or "no", along with the country where you are located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mi...] Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 Here in Germany it is available. Installed on two cmms and regarding one of them just recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Aa...] Posted November 15 Author Share Posted November 15 (edited) Thanks! Full disclosure: my hunch is that Germany is the only country where it is available, since I believe it was developed in cooperation with PTB (the German NMI).

It is important to know that - at least in Germany - the complete installation of vcmm is carried out by a company called "Eumetron". The only thing Zeiss has done, was a necessary calibration of the cmm with DAkks accuracy. My notion is that the whole vcmm issue is put in second place and only a handful of people at Zeiss are engaged with it. Probably since only a few customers order it. Maybe you might contact Eumetron and ask if they can help you or give further information.

[Aa...] Posted Wednesday at 01:15 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 01:15 PM Please sign in to view this quote. Thanks for your response. I'm familiar with Eumetron. We have a KOBA gauge that we originally purchased with an accredited traceable calibration certificate that was provided by Eumetron. The certificate says the measurement of the KOBA gauge was performed on a Prismo, which I find interesting, because Zeiss' specs for the prismo aren't anywhere near as tight as the uncertainty Eumetron put on the certificate. Someone at Zeiss told me that it is a decked out Prismo that Eumetron runs with all the shrouds off to prevent trapping heat in the shrouds. Could you please clarify: are you saying that Eumetron is the only company that uses VCMM or that VCMM has to be set up by Eumetron? I was once told by our aftermarket sales rep at Zeiss that VCMM is not available to us. I guess it would make sense that to simulate inaccuracies in the CMM, one would need a lot of information that would require thermal sensors to be installed throughout the CMM, and there would be a lot of setup involved.

At least in Germany, Zeiss engages Eumetron to do the whole VCMM setup including a one day training. https://carl-zeiss-industrial-metrology-llc.helpjuice.com/calypso-need-to-be-sorted/vcmm-virtual-cmm-for-calypso?from_search=166337249 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
