Carl Zeiss IMT Corporation announced that it has entered into an agreement with Coord3 Industries to purchase and market its gantry coordinate measuring machine (CMM) frames integrated with Carl Zeiss technology in North America. The collaboration between the two companies began in early 2004 with a contract for a development and distribution venture.
"Combining the Coord3 Gantry CMM frame with Carl Zeiss sensor, software and controller technology results in an optimum price-performance package for our customers," said Chris Grow, Vice President of Marketing of Carl Zeiss IMT Corporation. Coord3 is well known for its expertise in developing bridge-type gantry machines. This new partnership will help Carl Zeiss meet the increasing demand for these systems designed for the inspection of large dies, molds and wind energy components.
"We are proud to join forces with Carl Zeiss IMT. It gives us an opportunity to partner with a technology leader, expand our presence through an excellent sales and distribution network and reach customers in growing key markets," said Angelo Muscarella, CEO of Coord3 Industries.
