Form and roughness measurement of micro components

InfiniteFocus in micro manufacturing

InfiniteFocus also measures smallest radii and angles of miniaturized geometries in high resolution. The traceable and repeatable measurement of forms and surfaces in the µm-range is a growing requirement for optimizing micro tools and machining results. 

Measure micro tools as well as machining results

  • measure geometries in the µm-range with steep flanks, complex forms and varying roughness
  • achieve a vertical resolution of up to 10nm even when measuring relief, inner geometries and contours
  • measure components and tools across large vertical and lateral scanning ranges regardless of form, type or size
  • measure machining results of micro drills, micro milling and verify erosions
  • achieve traceable and repeatable results even at composite materials with varying reflective properties
  • benefit from measuring in true color and understand tool geometries and machining results on a total new level
  • measure form and roughness of carbide, ceramics, steel, micro diecasting etc. on an areal basis and in high measurement point density

Measure micro components by 360°

  • perform full form measurement of drills, mills and other tap tools throughout automatic 360° rotation
  • measure additional parameters like the cutting edge roundness, the clearance on thread flanks, the concentricity tolerance, the flank angle or the thread pitch
  • verify and visualize the surface geometry with only one measurement out of every perspective
  • automatically measure wear and/or form deviations to a CAD dataset

Product: InfiniteFocus Real3D

Enhance process reliability and optimize production process

  • by defining parameters the production process is optimized
  • with the 3D visualization in true color the quality of micro components and quality assurance in production are documented
  • new production processes and methods allow numeric evaluation and sustainable optimization
  • when working with a measurement system without traces of wear or usage, results with constant accuracy are achieved
  • quality assurance is carried out in research and production with InfiniteFocus

3d micro-coordinate measurement technique for roughness and form measurement

Alicona offers optical 3d surface measurement systems for quality assurance in research and production. Core competence is the measurement of roughness and form also across large measurement areas and volumes. The cutting edge measurement and the measurement of small radii and angles are typical applications. Focus-Variation, the core technique of the InfiniteFocus line, combines the traditional surface metrology and the micro coordinate measurement technology. This technology achieves traceable and repeatable results in highest resolution even in production.
