Carl Zeiss' UK Metrology Division has launched an innovative 'Pay-As-You-Go' scheme for its CMMs.The new scheme adds even more flexibility to existing leasing plans by allowing customers use of the machine for one year, paying only for the hours of use, subject to an agreed minimum usage.
The CMM controller will record the hours of usage, and users will only be billed for the time the machine has been used. At the end of the one-year contract, customers are able to either buy the machine with a rebate for the rental amount already paid, or can return it subject to nominal cost of de-installation and shipment.
Carl Zeiss says it is confident that the operation and productivity benefits provided by a Zeiss CMM will be made clear after only one year's usage. Indeed, when Carl Zeiss previously applied a 'Pay-As-You-Go' scheme to the launch of the Contura G2 in 2006, all of its lease customers ultimately purchased the machine.
In fact, the latest 'Pay-As-You-Go' scheme has been extended to most of Carl Zeiss' CMM product range.
