How to measure with very deep widths.
If you work with a large ZEISS ACCURA or ZEISS MMZ machine, you should not miss this tip. The problem with standard adapter plates is often that they can only measure up to a width of 800 mm without affecting the measurement result. However, this horizontal depth is not sufficient for large workpieces. ZEISS has the solution for this case.

Have you ever thought about limit values of the ZEISS VAST XXT probes?
In metrology, there are limits that must be observed. For example, compliance with various limit values for the ZEISS VAST XXT probe extensions are particularly important in order to achieve reliable measurement results.
