Zeiss
Contura G 2 CMM
What it is
The Zeiss Contura G 2 is a coordinate measuring machine used for dimensional measurement, inspection, and quality control in manufacturing and engineering settings.[4]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA coordinate measuring machine measures the geometry of a workpiece by moving a probe through programmed axes and collecting positional data at points on the part surface.
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]
Applications
The Zeiss Contura G 2 is used for part qualification, surface finish analysis, and feature evaluation in metrology workflows.[4]

Frequently asked questions
How does the probe operate on machines of this class?General reference — not yet source-verified
The probe operates by contacting the surface with a stylus, either taking individual point measurements or following the surface in a scanning motion, while the machine records the coordinates of each contacted point.
Can this type of CMM be used in a production environment?General reference — not yet source-verified
Machines of this class are often located in dedicated metrology areas or quality labs where temperature and vibration are controlled, though some are designed for shop-floor use. The measurement process is typically programmed and run in a repeatable manner for inspection routines.
What kinds of parts can be inspected on a CMM?General reference — not yet source-verified
Parts with machined or otherwise features can be inspected, ranging from small precision components to larger housings and structures, as long as the part fits within the measuring volume of the machine and is accessible to the probe.
Is the measurement process automated?General reference — not yet source-verified
The measurement process can be automated. Once a measurement program is created, the machine can execute the probing sequence automatically, though part loading and program setup are normally performed by an operator.
