ZeroTouch ZTM-333 by DWFritz Metrology. Precision Part Inspection Faster Than Traditional CMMs

Innovative technology for speed and accuracy.

A precise, high-speed metrology and inspection system for processing complex geometries in just a fraction of time versus a traditional CMM.

By leveraging more than four decades of developing high precision automation and metrology solutions, DWFritz Metrology is now launching the next generation of high speed, non-contact metrology platforms.

ZeroTouch® ZTM-333 uses multiple non-contact sensors to simultaneously capture 3D dimensional data, creating a high precision point cloud to measure part dimensions in a few minutes, instead of longer cycle times like traditional coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). Setup and measurement also take only minutes. Part inspection planning replaces programming and takes hours instead of days, with intuitive drag and drop functionality.

ZeroTouch ZTM-333

ZeroTouch ZTM-333 is an innovative, multipurpose measurement platform that combines multiple sensor technologies with custom multispectral lighting and deep learning software in one footprint. ZeroTouch’s rugged industrial design offers the accuracy, precision and speed that manufacturers need to optimize inspection cycle time in production environments.

    • Microenvironment for temperature control
    • Automatic part load/unload robot integration

Measurement Profile of Knee Implant

Multisensor technology measures parts faster

Measurement Profile of Knee Implant

Using application-based custom sensors, the system can capture millions of points per second, with variable data density levels, in just one scan. Multisensor Measurement of complex geometries such as bores, undercuts, and chamfers across a wide variety of materials enables precise inspection of even the most intricate parts with low GRR.

Planar air bearing design minimizes tolerance stack error

ZeroTouch ZTM-333’s unique planar air bearing design provides an extremely smooth, high-speed motion of precision stages, improving GRR. With this near zero-friction design, there’s no mechanical wear and performance remains consistent over time.

Advanced analytics integration

Through industry proven and recognized analytics software, parts can be analyzed by comparing point cloud scans with nominal CAD models and GD&T controls. Statistical process control (SPC) data can drive warnings to reduce variability and scrap.

Highly configurable control software

Working with MES, ZeroTouch ZTM-333 will store and obtain part inspection plans, as well as measurement data for every part, preserving data integrity. Menu driven, automated creation of part inspection plans can be launched easily by recalling the program from MES or via an optional barcode reader. Control software also ensures operator safety, disabling tool motion when enclosure panels are open.
