Compare what ships with the Zygo Certified NewView 9000 and NV9000, including stand, objectives, and stage differences, plus how to decide which certified system fits your lab.
Quick answer
Choose the Zygo Certified NewView 9000 (1713634) if you need a complete, ready-to-install profiler with stand, vibration isolation, objectives, and a 5-axis stage. Choose the certified NV9000 (1713627) if you already have a stand, desk, and objectives, or if you want a lower-cost controller-upgraded system with a 1-year warranty.
The stand and objectives are the biggest practical difference
The NewView 9000 listing includes a Zygo instrument stand with vibration isolation, a manual 4-position turret, a 0.5x zoom lens, a 2x zoom lens, a 1x LWD objective, and a 10x objective. That means you can mount the system and start measuring without sourcing a stand or basic optics separately.
The NV9000 listing explicitly notes that no Zygo stand is currently included and that no objectives are included. It also notes no desk is included. If you already own a compatible stand and objectives, this can be a sensible way to get a newer controller and stage; if not, you will need to budget and plan for those items.
Stage and controller differences affect throughput and software support
Both systems include a 5-axis stage with motorized XYZRP and a manual 4-position turret. The NV9000 adds a new system controller with Windows 11 and the latest version of Mx software, plus a 1-year warranty. The NewView 9000 listing describes a 'New System' but does not specify the controller or software version, so confirm those details before purchase if software compatibility is critical.
The NV9000 was upgraded from an NV7000 to an NV9000, so it uses a 7000 granite base. That is a real difference in the platform's foundation, though the listing does not state how it affects measurement performance. Treat it as a known configuration detail to discuss with Zygo if your work is sensitive to base stiffness or vintage.
The 3 Rod Kit is a separate accessory, not a system substitute
The Zygo Certified 3 Rod Kit (1713635) is a vertical workstation kit with 1.5 m rods, a baseplate, a safety baseplate, two mounting arms, and a part stage made up of a manual x-y stage, tip/tilt accessory receptacle, and manual z-axis. It is designed to hold and position parts, not to provide the profiler itself.
If you are buying a NewView 9000 or NV9000, the 3 Rod Kit can be a useful add-on for larger or differently oriented samples, but it does not replace the need for a stand or objectives on the NV9000. Check that your chosen system and the kit are compatible for your sample sizes before ordering.
Decision rules for choosing between these certified systems
- If you need a complete, install-ready profiler: Choose the NewView 9000 (1713634) because it includes the stand, vibration isolation, turret, zoom lenses, and two objectives. Confirm the controller and software version with Zygo before purchase, since the listing does not specify them. Ask for the controller model and Mx version in writing.
- If you already have a compatible stand and objectives: Choose the NV9000 (1713627) to get a motorized 5-axis stage, new Windows 11 controller, latest Mx software, and a 1-year warranty. Verify that your existing stand and objectives are compatible with the NV9000 head and turret. Check stand compatibility and objective mount type before ordering.
- If you need to position larger or differently oriented parts: Add the 3 Rod Kit (1713635) to either system for a vertical workstation with 1.5 m rods and a manual x-y-z part stage. Confirm that the kit's mounting arms and stage interface match your chosen system. Confirm the kit fits your system and sample envelope.
- If warranty and software currency are top priorities: The NV9000 includes a 1-year warranty and a new controller with Windows 11 and latest Mx. The NewView 9000 listing does not state a warranty or software version, so request those details if they matter to your purchase. Get warranty terms and software version in writing for either system.
Product facts
- NewView 9000: Includes Zygo instrument stand with vibration isolation, 5-axis motorized XYZRP stage, 0.5x and 2x zoom lenses, manual 4-position turret, 1x LWD and 10x objectives. You get a more complete setup out of the box, reducing the need to source a stand and basic optics separately.
NewView 9000 - NV9000: No Zygo stand and no objectives are included; includes a new system controller with Windows 11 and latest Mx, plus a 1-year warranty. This system suits buyers who already own compatible mounting and optics, or who want a controller-upgraded unit with warranty coverage.
NV9000 - 3 Rod Kit: Vertical workstation kit with 1.5 m rods, baseplate, safety baseplate, two mounting arms, and a part stage with manual x-y, tip/tilt receptacle, and manual z-axis. Adds flexible part positioning for larger or differently oriented samples, but it is not a substitute for the profiler itself.
Who should choose which
Best for
- Labs that need a complete profiler with stand, vibration isolation, and basic objectives included.
- Buyers who want a single purchase that covers mounting, optics, and stage motion without sourcing separate components.
Not for
- Buyers who already own a compatible stand and objectives and want to avoid paying for duplicates.
- Users who need a specified controller or software version confirmed before purchase, unless they are willing to verify details with Zygo first.
