Planning and Measuring Lab Preparation
General protection measures
The CMM must be protected against direct contamination (e.g. casting sand, metal filings, blasting equipment, oil,
coolants, lubricants, soot, etc.). Deposits may require additional cleaning and maintenance and could lead to malfunc-
tions and damage to the CMM.
Doorway dimensions in the measuring lab
The doorways to the measuring lab must be at least 10 cm wider and higher than the dimensions of the individual
shipping crates.
The dimensions of the CMM assemblies can be found in the "Shipping crates" and "Installation dimensions" chapters.
Room height of the measuring lab
The required room height is the sum of the height of the CMM and the minimum sub-ceiling installation clearance.
The required minimum room height above the floor or foundation is listed in the chapter on "installation dimensions".
Floor
–
The floor must be clean.
–
Maximum tilt per support surface (100 x 100 mm): 1 mm
–
Maximum difference in level between the support surfaces: ≤5 mm
–
If the CMM is delivered with a base, the base must be anchored to the floor.
For the standard base: 2 mounting holes.
(See the chapter on securing the standard base for the dimensions and information)
For the ShopFloor base: 3 mounting holes.
(See the chapter on securing the ShopFloor base for the dimensions and information)
Floor plan
If you create a floor plan on a CAD system, you can produce a DXF and/or a DWG file containing the dimensions. If
you require further assistance, please contact your ZEISS representative.
Note:
When creating a floor plan, ensure that your coordinate measuring machine can be easily accessed from all
sides. Installation near transport routes must be avoided.
Floor load
When calculating or planning any necessary floor reinforcements, we recommend consulting a structural engineer fa-
miliar with your local soil conditions. The floor load resulting from the CMM can be found in the chapter on "installa-
tion dimensions".
Vibrations at the installation site
Floor vibrations caused by a variety of reasons are found with varying severity at every installation site.
–
Neighboring systems (lathes, presses, etc.).
–
Transport equipment (forklifts, cranes, etc.).
–
Nearby traffic ways (highways, train tracks).
–
People walking.
They can considerably interfere with the measuring accuracy of a coordinate measuring machine and should be pre-
vented as much as possible or kept to a minimum. If installation near production cannot be avoided, it is recom-
mended to detach the foundation for the CMM from the rest of the foundation. Installation sites over a cellar or on
upper floors of a building must also be avoided.
For many ZEISS coordinate measuring machines, there is also an additional option for an air damping system that can
efficiently dampen floor vibration is certain frequency ranges.
