[Jo...] Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Can anyone tell me if these CMM test specimens need to be calibrated, how often, and by whom? Thanks!Test Specimens.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we purchased ours back in 2017, there was a cost of actual unit, plus the cost of the calibration from a 3rd party and the cost of the Calypso program written by Zeiss. You could probably get the artifact calibrated by anyone of your choosing and you could write your own program but I'm guessing it will be more expensive in the long run. I suppose it doesn't make sense to send it back to Germany from a cost perspective. I don't know about the calibration frequency. We have not had ours calibrated since we got it but we only use it a few times per year as our machine doesn't get used a lot. And, we are not a manufacturer under a quality system.

Upon review of the calibration certificates, it appears Zeiss (Germany) did the calibration. I suppose they would be quite able to do this. 😃 It was around $3-4k. The total for the gage, calibration and program was close to $20k FYI. The Calypso program is serial number specific. It will only run on the machine that it was purchased for.

Do you already have an Zeiss CMM-Check or other artifact? If not, are you trying to buy one? If so, the Aftermarket group can quote everything for you.
