The right tools for special requirements ZEISS CALYPSO options

ZEISS CALYPSO

Universal software for dimensional metrology applications

With ZEISS CALYPSO, you will measure standard geometries easily, quickly and reliably. A single click on the required characteristics is all that is needed for programming. Thanks to numerous optional extensions, the software also offers the right tools for special requirements. ZEISS offers around 40 additional ZEISS CALYPSO software options for special applications and measurement tasks. You can purchase these in addition to the ZEISS CALYPSO universal measurement software to adapt the software to your individual measurement requirements.

Highlights of the ZEISS CALYPSO software options:

ZEISS CALYPSO planner

With this software option, measurement plans can be created offline so that your measuring machine is not tied up to develop other measurement plans.

With ZEISS CALYPSO planner, you have the ability to creating complete CNC measurement plans on a computer station remote from the machine.
Your advantage: Your measuring machine can continue to be used for measuring parts. The software saves the finished measuring plans, after which can be called up and executed at any time with ZEISS CALYPSO. The measuring throughput is thus retained.

ZEISS CALYPSO curve

Software option allows users to measure and analyze 2D and 3D profiles.

The option enables measurements and analysis of 2D curves (intersection on one plane), 3D curves (intersection on one cylinder), lift curves, known and unknown contours and open and closed curves. Numerous curve-related characteristics can also be reported, including curve slope, curve stroke, curve distance, curve expansion, curve length, surface area, speed and acceleration.

ZEISS CALYPSO freeform

Software option for measuring, inspection and analyzing workpieces with non-standard geometries, and performing 3D surface analysis.

ZEISS CALYPSO calculates the distance between measurement points and the CAD surface and displays the results graphically on the CAD model. Furthermore, results can be used to show the differences between the nominal and actual surfaces. The 2021 version of ZEISS CALYPSO has an improved mathematical algorithm for even better performance. The measurement results are now available 20 times faster than before.

ZEISS CALYPSO PCM

Software option that significantly decreases the amount of time needed to measure parts in the same part family.

ZEISS CALYPSO PCM (parameter-coded measurement) is ideal for manufacturers that produce parts similar in shape, function, and production process, but only differ by a few dimensions. Without PCM, the usual time consuming approach is to make a measurement plan for each individual workpiece in a family. Furthermore, if the measurement plan changes, possibly hundreds of measurement plans need to be manually edited. PCM solves this problem by creating one master measurement plan for all parts in the part family.

Examples of further ZEISS CALYPSO software options:
