(Carl Zeiss IMT: Oberkochen/Germany) -- The O-INSPECT line from Carl Zeiss is growing: The O-INSPECT 322 coordinate measuring machine is now available. It is the smallest system with which Carl Zeiss is expanding the range of applications of its coordinate measuring machines. The system unites contact scanning and optical measuring technology. This combination is now available in two sizes: O-INSPECT 322 and the original O-INSPECT 442. Both machines use the same sensors and function; the difference is in the measuring range.

In many industries, the parts being inspected are no bigger than a hand (e.g., a mobile phone case or dentures). The O-INSPECT 322 is now available for the measurement of these parts. The measuring range is somewhat smaller (300 × 200 × 200 mm), but the system is more affordable compared to other O-INSPECT machines.
