Wenzel Metrology has delivered its 10,000 th CMM to the ZF Group. It marks another
important milestone for the company and underlines Wenzel’s close partnership with ZF, a
global specialist in driveline and chassis technology, as well as active and passive safety
solutions.
The LH 1210 is the first machine of its size with the ‘Premium Select’ accuracy of 1.2 µm
+L/450 µm. This specification makes it the most accurate CMM that Wenzel has ever
produced in this size.
Another highlight is the integrated new roughness sensor system, which can be used on
both the Wenzel LH series and the GT series (gear measuring machines). This technology
enables ZF to measure a wide variety of components flexibly and precisely, whether cubic or
rotationally symmetrical. The standard rotary table, integrated into the granite plate,
further expands the machine’s application possibilities and makes it a genuine multi-
coordinate measuring system.
Wenzel has developed the LH 1210 in such a way that it is ready for future sensors and
technologies. As a result, ZF can invest in the latest technologies in the long term without
having to replace any hardware.
A further decisive factor for ZF was compatibility of the measuring programs. The programs
of the GT series gear measuring machines can be easily used on the LH series and exchanged
between different locations worldwide. This gives ZF maximum flexibility and enables
optimal use of the machines in its global production networks.
The 10,000 th CMM was ceremoniously handed over by senior management, Dr Heike
Wenzel and Dr Heiko Wenzel-Schinzer, as well as the key account management team led
by Björn Urland and Thomas Pfeiffer in Wenzel’s final assembly department.
