In the production of mechanical components for the energy industry, many parts are large in size and have complex geometries, yet require micrometer-level accuracy. Traditional measurement methods often have limitations in terms of stability and performance, especially when businesses must meet rigorous assessments and audits from international customers. This reality creates a need for high-precision measurement solutions with a large measurement range and long-term reliability, provided by reputable global technology partners.
Instead of simply supplying equipment, ZEISS approaches the market as a technology partner, working alongside businesses to solve real-world measurement problems. A prime example is the collaboration between ZEISS and CS Bearing, a South Korean company specializing in the production of industrial bearings for the wind energy sector.

With products of considerable size and weight, reaching tens of tons, CS Bearing required a measurement solution that ensured both high accuracy for specialized components and operational stability. Before implementing ZEISS’s system, the company faced numerous difficulties in quality control using traditional methods, resulting in lengthy inspection times and inconsistencies in data.
Mr. Vu Dinh Nam, Quality Assurance Manager at CS Bearing, shared the reason why the company chose ZEISS over other brands: “CS Bearing’s vision is to create truly precise and absolutely reliable bearings. And when we think of absolute precision and reliability, we immediately think of ZEISS CMM coordinate measuring machines.”
CS Bearing has implemented the ZEISS MMZ G CMM coordinate measuring system, a machine specifically designed for large-scale parts in heavy industry. The system allows direct measurement of large parts in a single measurement setup, while ensuring high accuracy and repeatability.
Thanks to its efficient scanning and direct comparison with 3D CAD models, the ZEISS MMZ G has helped CS Bearing shorten inspection time by approximately 50%, from 7-8 hours to about 4 hours per part, while improving the reliability and consistency of measurement data. This solution contributes to improved operational efficiency and helps businesses better meet the increasingly stringent quality assessment requirements from international customers.

Mr. Tran Van Hai, head of the CMM team at CS Bearing, shared the reason why the ZEISS MMZ G significantly shortens turnaround time: “The machine has a large travel distance, fast scanning speed, and automated software. There’s no need to change setups frequently, thus reducing manual operations.”
Using ZEISS measurement systems not only provides technical benefits but also plays a crucial role in production line audits. International customers highly value the measurement process using ZEISS technology as a guarantee of product quality and reliability.
From ZEISS’s perspective, this demonstrates the role of precise measurement as a strategic foundation, helping businesses raise quality standards, strengthen market confidence, and participate more deeply in the global value chain of the energy industry.
