(Carl Zeiss IMT GmbH: Oberkochen, Germany) -- CARMET II from Carl Zeiss was developed specifically for suppliers and manufacturers in the automotive industry. This new horizontal-arm measuring machine is available in four sizes up to a measuring range of X = 7 m, Y = 1.6 m and Z = 2.5 m. It comes standard with RDS stepping articulating probe holder featuring computer-aided accuracy (CAA). The foam insulation technology successfully introduced with the new ACCURA is also used for CARMET II.

CARMET II continues in the tradition of its successful predecessor. It sets new standards regarding robustness, ergonomic design, and performance. CARMET II features an attractive price/performance ratio and low life-cycle costs. This measuring machine provides proven and reliable technology with the quality expected of Zeiss.

Compared to similar measuring machines, CARMET II has a considerably smaller footprint. This is the result of the on-board controller on the machine. Sensitive machine components are enclosed in a special high-tech material, thus providing CARMET II with high temperature stability. Machine availability is increased through the shortened maintenance time. All maintenance-relevant parts are easily accessible.
