Replace Physical Fixtures and Enhance Measuring Processes

Replace Physical Fixtures and Enhance Measuring Processes

Virtual Clamping sustainably reduces costs and allows for the precise part clamping.

ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions (ZEISS IQS) is introducing the latest updates for Virtual Clamping — an app within the ZEISS INSPECT 3D metrology software. In combination with the new Guided Holding Kit, Virtual Clamping enables the precise and flexible clamping of a wide variety of parts — from small to large components made from injection-molded, die-cast, or sheet metal.

Lower costs and higher precision

Virtual Clamping replaces conventional, part-specific clamping fixtures with a cost-effective universal solution. The parts are supported without stress and positioned reproducibly for measurement. To this end, ZEISS has developed the new Guided Holding Kit. The basis for this is the universal pneumatic clamping device (UPD), which is already available. With the new Guided Holding Kit, ZEISS is expanding this solution with additional components, enabling it to be used in automated measurement processes with the ZEISS ScanBox optical 3D measuring machine. This ensures reproducible part mounting even in automated environments.
