"From its very first generation, Bruker Alicona’s μCMM was a true high‑end measuring system for high‑precision manufacturing. Stepper has always stood for maximum precision and productivitymaking the decision to trust the μCMM with quality assurance a natural one. We’re proud to have been the very first μCMM customer back in 2018, and eight years later, we continue this success story as the first to adopt the μCMM NEOanother milestone in our shared journey of precision.”

Measure What Defines Your Product Quality with

the Optical Coordinate Measuring Machine µCMM NEO

Precision Dies

Control the Micro Geometry Behind Millions of Parts.

Precision dies directly transfer their geometry into every stamped component. The optical coordinate measuring machine µCMM NEO verifies geometries, micro structures and datum alignment reliably—ensuring consistent performance of ultra-fine stamped structures. 

Injection Nozzles & Valve Seats

Measure Micro Holes Where Efficency Begins.

Injection nozzles and valve seats depend on micro holes, sealing geometries and precise feature alignment. The µCMM NEO captures micro holes, freeform seat geometries and functional surfaces beyonds tactile limits—delivering full 3D data for reliable evaluation of flow-critical features.

EDM Electrodes

Inspect the Electrode Before your Cavity is Created.

EDM electrodes define the final geometry of the eroded cavity. The optical coordinate measuring machine measures complex freeform and negative geometries reliably on fragile graphite electrodes and critical micro geometries—ensuring reliable verification before the EDM process begins.
