The system: mobile measurement of platens

IF-Portable is an optical 3D micro coordinate measurement device for cup measurements on platens. The system is positioned directly on the platen and measures form plus roughness of the cup geometry. Even at steep flanks measurements with a vertical resolution of up to 10nm are achieved. Also under production conditions IF-Portable delivers stable, traceable and repeatable results.

The benefits: higher measurement accuracy via automation

The change of objectives is carried out with a nosepiece. This is how users increase the accuracy of their measurements, as no adjustments or time consuming recalibrations are necessary. Options for easy automation of measurement tasks enhance process reliability, efficiency and user friendliness. The exceptionally large working distance enables high resolution measurement of varying component forms and types. In addition IF-Portable provides the registered true color information with each measurement value.

The technology: Focus-Variation for area based surface measurement

IF-Portable is based on Focus-Variation. The optical technology delivers a measurement point density of up to 100 mil measure points. This enables surface measurement of large measurement areas and volumes. As an area based technology, Focus-Variation is already conforming to EN ISO 25178 for area based surface characterization. Every measurement value automatically includes information for estimating the measurement uncertainty.

Applications: measurement of bent and flat surfaces

IF-Portable is applicable for all relevant materials in production. This also includes composite materials with various surface characteristics and reflection properties. IF-Portable combines form and roughness measurement of components. As a standard, IF-Portable covers measurement areas with dimensions of up to (mm) 50x50x19. The system is light weight, handy and mobile. Next to form and roughness measurements of platens the IF-Portable is used for the measurement of turbine blades, rotor blades, steel and body type surfaces.

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.
