TechnologiesHow we make your quality measurable

The non-contact shape & roughness measurement technology 

Are you looking for a measuring solution to measure shape and roughness with one sensor, to laterally probe your components and thus also measure vertical flanks of more than 90°? Moreover you are aiming for faster, automated, repeatable and traceable measurements of your individual component? 
The following non-contact measurement technologies of Bruker Alicona show how this is possible:

Form & roughness in one system with Focus-Variation

FOCUS-VARIATION

Shape and roughness in one system

Our optical 3D measuring systems, which are based on Focus- Variation, combine the functionalities of a surface roughness measuring instrument with those of a form measuring system. Focus-Variation combines the small depth of focus of an optical system with vertical scanning to provide topographical and color information from the variation of focus. In other words: It delivers information about shape and roughness of a surface in one go, which makes it super-efficient.

Optical lateral probing of components

Up to now, geometries such as bore holes of injection valves in the automotive industry were difficult to measure optically. This changes with Vertical Focus Probing: The technology enables optical, lateral probing of vertical flanks of more than 90°, over the entire surface. Users measure holes, reference surfaces, lengths, contours, etc. with high precision, in high resolution and fast measuring times.

Faster measurement of points & contours

For the first time, Focus-Probing technology enables users to measure single 3D points and 3D contours very quickly without the need for vertical scanning. It enables the measurement of metrically correct contours at a single position. 3D contours and points obtained with Focus-Probing can be used, for example, to quickly measure features such as distances and diameters, or to align a sample with a CAD dataset.

Full form measurement with Real3D

Full form measurement

Using Real3D, users measure surfaces from numerous perspectives. Single measurements are then automatically merged into a full 3D dataset. High-precision and calibrated rotation and tilt
axes ensure automated, repeatable and traceable measurement of form and roughness on the whole measurement object. Users are able to visualize and measure surface features such as diverse flank angles, thread pitch and undercuts.
