Who they are
ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions (IQS) is the metrology division of Carl Zeiss. It manufactures coordinate measuring machines, optical and multisensor systems, microscopy systems and 3D X-ray metrology equipment, together with the software that runs them.
The portfolio serves automotive, aerospace, mechanical engineering, plastics and medical device manufacturers globally, from shopfloor production measurement through to R&D-grade laboratory systems.
Products & services
Bridge, gantry and horizontal-arm CMMs
The CONTURA, ACCURA, PRISMO and MMZ families cover shopfloor-through-to-reference-lab accuracy. Bridge-type CMMs are the workhorse; gantry and horizontal-arm systems handle large aerospace and automotive bodies-in-white.
Optical & multisensor systems
O-INSPECT and O-SELECT combine tactile probing with optical sensors for parts where you need to measure both dimensional and 2D optical features in one setup.
3D X-ray metrology (CT)
ZEISS METROTOM and VoluMax industrial CT systems non-destructively measure internal geometry, porosity and assembly integrity - critical for additively manufactured, cast and moulded parts.
CALYPSO, PiWeb and ZEISS INSPECT software
A complete software stack for programming, measurement execution, statistical reporting and enterprise-level quality data management.
Where they're strong
- Traceable accuracy specified to ISO 10360 across the CMM range
- Deep sensor breadth - tactile, optical, CT and roughness in a coordinated ecosystem
- Global service and calibration footprint
- Strong software integration from measurement to SPC and PLM
Typical sectors
Why we work with ZEISS
ZEISS is one of the few vendors that can cover an entire quality strategy - CMM, optical, CT and software - which matters when a manufacturer is planning long-term investment rather than a single machine.
Independent audit-grade accuracy makes ZEISS a strong recommendation for regulated sectors like aerospace and medical.
We stay independent - we don't take vendor targets. If ZEISS isn't the right fit for your parts, we'll say so.
