SURFCOM NEX Series

Features

Future-proof flexibility

  • With two different sizes of granite measuring table and three different sizes of columns to choose from, ZEISS offers a wide range of solutions for various applications.
  • Future-proof thanks to multi-sensor capability with optical and tactile sensors. 
  • All tactile styli are exchangeable without tools or screws. 

Furniture solutions

Different furniture choices complete the SURFCOM NEX Series:

  • Space-saving DX variation suitable for production
  • Solid, attractively-priced FX version with integrated active vibration damping or comprehensive SD desk furniture

Optional features

  • The optional CNC kit, consisting of linear and rotary positioning axis, allows higher productivity due to fully automatic measurements. 
  • Optional topography measurements (optical or contact)

Patented magnetic linear drive for higher efficiency

The patented contact-free magnetic linear drive makes SURFCOM NEX highly efficient and low-maintenance. It enables a positioning speed that is up to seven times faster.

Options

The SURFCOM NEX series offers wide range of solutions. In this way we provide the best solution for your application.
