Automatic Calibration

Verification through height measurement

Height measurements with the AutoCalibration can be verified using a micro-contour-artefact that is calibrated by the PTB (Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig). The depth measurement standard from the PTB contains grooves of different depth (from 240nm to 50µm).

  • The unique AutoCalibration works fully automatically. Alicona is the only supplier able to offer this technology.
  • MeX is the only real metrology package that allows numerically accurate measurements independent on the magnification.
  • MeX allows extended analysis features such as ISO conform roughness analysis and extended form analysis.

Verification through radius measurement

Measurements of the pure software solution MeX can be verified using a micro-contour-artefact that is calibrated by the PTB (Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig).
The artefact contains different regions including steep flanks, height steps and cylindrical elements.

The following measurements can be verified:

  • Circle measurements
  • Steep flanks
  • Depth measurements
