Optical profilometer for surface roughness measurements

The IF-Profiler is a handheld 3D profilometer for high resolution surface roughness measurement. Users measure roughness of flat and curved components with only one system. Measurements are performed both profile based (ISO 4287) and areal based (ISO 25178).
