Inline measurements three times faster

Alicona announces a new release of the high resolution optical 3D measurement device InfiniteFocus. Additional measurement possibilities, higher automation even across large measurement fields and increased measurement speed enhance the inline-capability of the InfiniteFocus sensor significantly.
Extended ex- and import of data enhance the efficiency of measurements. Amongst others, the export of Q-DAS supports industrial data management systems and provides faster processing of measurement results. Also, the export of DFX data, and import of CAD data is provided.
Measurements with InfiniteFocus have a measurement density of more than 100 Mio. measurement points which ensures a vertical resolution of up to 10 nm. This provides the measurement of even smallest tolerances to keep dimensional accuracy.
Depending on the application the sensor can be mounted directly in the production line or on a robot to access difficult positions on a large object.

The InfiniteFocus sensor in production
The core of InfiniteFocus-Inline is the robust sensor, an enclosed unit comprising all the mechanics of the 3D measurement device. This unit has a high vertical scan speed providing a high clock rate and consequently a broad spectrum of applications. This one sensor provides all the functionalities of an optical profiler and a micro coordinate measurement device. Typical applications are form and roughness measurements as well as damage analysis of e.g engine blocks or aircraft turbines and the quality assurance of wind power stations. In precision manufacturing applications the sensor can be used for positional measurement and alignment compared to a CAD dataset. This provides assurance on subsequent micromachining processes such laser drillings with small tolerances. Variance analysis, form deviation and the analysis of corrosive mechanics are further typical applications in many sectors of industry.
