Until now, operators had to choose either a flexible, stepping articulating probe holder that offered passive but less accurate scanning, or a fixed scanning probe, which is more accurate but not as flexible.

The key feature is its integrated swivel joint. “It enables the stylus system to turn as far as possible in 15° increments and thus always be positioned at the right angle to the part,” says Andreas Bucher, product manager at Carl Zeiss IMT. For special applications, this value can also be configured for any angle through the use of stylus systems. The VAST XTR gold is designed for long, heavy styli up to 350 mm long and 500 g in weight.
