What it is

The Zeiss Contura G 2 is a coordinate measuring machine. The Zeiss Contura G 2 is used for dimensional measurement, inspection, and quality control. The Zeiss Contura G 2 is categorized as test and probe equipment.[1][4][6]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A coordinate measuring machine measures a workpiece by moving a probe along machine axes and recording positional data where the probe contacts the part. A coordinate measuring machine can perform point measurements or scanning measurements depending on the probe and the inspection routine. A coordinate measuring machine then compares measured geometry with nominal dimensions and tolerances in metrology software.

Where it fits in the process flow

The Zeiss Contura G 2 is suited to dimensional inspection, form and profile measurement, GD&T verification, reverse engineering, and tool and mold inspection.[4][5]

Applications

The Zeiss Contura G 2 is used for part qualification, surface finish analysis, and feature evaluation in metrology workflows. The Zeiss Contura G 2 is suitable for dimensional inspection, form and profile measurement, surface finish analysis, GD&T verification, reverse engineering, tool and mold inspection, part qualification, and metrology applications in automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and electronics.[4][5]
