Contact profilometry is a technique for directly measuring the surface sag of an element. A mechanical probe is used to repeatedly sample points on the surface. These sag values in turn can be fit to a spherical and aspheric shape to recover the parameters of the surface.
Profilometry is a technique used to extract topographical data from a surface. This can be a single point, a line scan or even a full three dimensional scan.
The purpose of profilometry is to get surface morphology, step heights and surface roughness. This can be done using a physical probe or by using light.
Profilometers are used to measure surface roughness or surface finish. Contact Profilometers use a stylus to measure one point at a time. Optical Profilometers use reflected light for measurement, and some can measure multiple points simultaneously.
Global contact profilometer market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Launch of Novacam OPTICAL 3D PROFILOMETER system enables fully configurable and automated non-contact measurement of:Novacam profilometer systems have been deployed in international labs and manufacturing facilities for well over a decade.
These systems deliver micron-precision non-contact measurements for a wide of inspection applications in aerospace, automotive, defence, electronics, glass, medical instrumentation, nuclear, precision machining, semiconductor, and other high-precision sectors.
The systems offer particularly unique capabilities for measuring even in hard-to-reach spaces such as inside bores, tubes or barrels, or bottoms of blind holes and slots.
The OPTICAL 3D PROFILOMETER system is a plug-and-play system that comes with a PC and high-performance data acquisition software.
Please see the product page to read more about options available with the system. The Tactile Profilometer uses a mechanical probe to measure a sample’s surface’s profile in the micrometre range.
This way the morphology of the surface can be visualised. Furthermore by use of standardised algorithms the roughness characteristics can be quantified.
