Flatness Thickness Parallelism Module Provides Measurement Without Part Flipping or Rotation
The new Polytec FTP Flatness, Thickness, and Parallelism measuring module offers a rapid and comprehensive solution for simultaneously assessing flatness, thickness, and parallelism. This innovative module is particularly transformative for quality control in precision mechanics, such as the watch-making industry, sealing surfaces, shim rings, optical components, and more.
Measurement without Flipping or Rotating
Traditionally, measuring both the front and back sides of a sample involves flipping or rotating it, a process that requires a rotational unit and complex alignment. The Polytec FTP module eliminates the need for such maneuvers, allowing measurements without rotation or flipping, thus simplifying and speeding up operations by avoiding additional sample alignment.
Indirect vs. Direct Measurements
Indirect measurements rely on a reference surface to assess the backside of a sample, often leading to time-consuming sequential measurements and assumptions about the perfection of the reference surface. These standard procedures can be inefficient and inaccurate.
Comprehensive Areal Measurements
Standard single-point or line-profile evaluations provide limited insights into the true 3D surface, resulting in time-consuming processes and a trade-off between higher point density and throughput. The Polytec FTP module overcomes these limitations by offering non-contact, high data density areal measurements from both top and bottom views in a single measurement, ensuring more accurate and efficient assessments.
