Carl Zeiss IMT announces that it has opened a new West Coast Tech Center in Irvine, California. “We are dedicated to supporting the high-tech industry on the West Coast by providing customers easy access to our most modern and advanced technology,” says Andy Sisler, vice president of sales. “The new technical center will provide more local resources and support for this fast-paced market. It’s an exciting time for us because this is a chance to be even closer to our customers, and to show our commitment to customer support after the sale.”
The facility is located in a modern technology park. The new site focuses on application support, contract inspection services, software training, and demonstration of Zeiss equipment. “Providing contract inspection services is an exciting part of what we are building here,” according to Drew Shemenski, software and applications manager. “With a full suite of metrology systems at this facility, we have the capability to support the inspection needs of everyone from micro-molders, up through traditional CNC job shops, as well as specialists such as gear and turbine manufacturers.
“This will be a first-class experience for our customers,” he continues. “We’re very proud to have available a full range of our industry leading bridge-type machines and our most advanced metrology systems. We’re excited about the type of technology we have in Irvine.”
The Metrotom 1500 is an x-ray based computed tomography system specifically designed for 3D metrology of small, complex, low-density parts made of plastic, composite materials, or ceramic. The O-Inspect is a multi-sensor system that features both tactile and optical scanning and provide tremendous flexibility for measuring parts that approach the micro range of size. The center has a variety of surface form and geometry systems to round out measuring and demonstration capabilities. The team in place also brings a depth and variety of experience that really complements the technology. We are looking forward to bringing all these elements to support our customers.
“There is a lot of enthusiasm at Carl Zeiss around the opening of this West Coast facility,” says Sisler. “While others may be cutting back on support, this additional location is one more sign of Carl Zeiss’ commitment to customer service. We are looking forward to showcasing our additional infrastructure, resources and support.”
