Zeiss Adds Extreme Metrology


Expanding its reach in the field of measurement technology, Carl Zeiss IMT Corp. is planning to roll some of its existing products into a new extreme metrology group.

The new group will offer manufacturers solutions for products that are “different from the run-of-the-mill stuff,” said Kevin Legacy, the company’s manager of computed tomography and engineering.

Manufacturers will be able to send their products, components and prototypes to a new lab in Brighton, Mich., where Zeiss IMT experts will provide metrology services. Thus, companies who might not be able to afford to purchase Zeiss instruments outright still will be able to benefit from their accuracy and precision.
