3D measurement of micro diecasting and polymer

InfiniteFocus in diecasting and in polymer industry

InfiniteFocus is a 3D surface measurement device and a form measurement device. With only one system users verify roughness, form and orientation of injection mold and injection molding components. Hence surface inspection is performed contactless and non-destructive. Also typical form component errors like sink marks are automatically measured across large measurement areas.

Measure injection mold and injection molding components across large measurement areas

  • use InfiniteFocus as a surface and form measurement device to verify dimensional accuracy of injection molded components
  • also measure complex components such as plug connections or micro gear drives with smallest radii and steep flanks
  • automatically identify and measure errors such as sink marks throughout the automatic surface defects analysis, also across large measurement fields
  • benefit from high measurement speed and highest accuracy and set up a meaningful first sample test report in order to decrease the number of correction loops
  • optimize injection mold and tool correction
  • measure “soft” and highly sensitive materials non-destructive
  • also measure the inner geometry of injection molded components traceably and in high repeatability

Define geometry, form and orientation

  • identify form, position and orientation of e.g. bore holes
  • achieve area based measurements in high measurement point density even of sphere- and cone-shaped geometries
  • automatically measure and visualize form deviations between target/actual geometry in true color information
  • numerically verify and document results of modified parameters of an injection molding machine and process
  • perform automatic tool wear measurement
  • achieve full form measurement of injection molding components via 360° rotation with InfiniteFocus Real3D

Measure plastic films for vehicle interiors

  • measure size, regularities and distribution of grain details before and after coating
  • achieve high resolution results even at surfaces with various gloss levels
  • adjust molding tools on a numerical basis
  • determine the gloss level of films via roughness measurement and guarantee a steady surface texture

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.
