(Carl Zeiss IMT: Maple Grove, MN) -- Carl Zeiss has introduced the MICURA coordinate measuring machine. This high-precision, compact, bridge-type CMM features precision scanning technology with the VAST XT gold active scanning sensor. The MICURA system offers 0.9 micron + L/400 accuracy with low probing force and is excellent for measurements of small and intricate parts often required in the optical, electronic, medical, aerospace, and telecommunication industries.

As devices from the medical and electronic manufacturers become smaller, so do the components that make them operate optimally. This shift in production is highly dependent on the right quality inspection equipment. The MICURA offers the accuracy to measure delicate parts such as optics and disk drive components while maintaining efficiency.

Compact size offers large measuring volume
The accuracy of the compact MICURA opens the door for measurement applications in areas such as labs or companies requiring high precision. A measurement volume of 500 mm x 500 mm x 500 mm handles a wide variety of small parts, a balanced range in all three axes for a machine in this size category.
