- Compact footprint (W: 1522, D: 1263, H: 2100) mm³ - Confocal laser scanning displacement sensor for contactless measurement - Total process cycle time: 1.2 min - Measurement range: ±0.3 mm - Resolution: 0.01 µm - Reference distance: 6 mm - Linearity deviation: ± 0.5% of F.S. - Real time process control - Intuitive HMI design - Automatic part handling system - Cleanroom class ISO 8 or higher The IMSTec roughness measurement station is part of an overall concept for coating automation of orthopaedic implants. It represents a high end solution for a 100% automated and contactless part surface roughness determination. An integrated high precision laser scanning sensor mounted onto a linear motor axis for test section movements provides repeatable roughness measurements. For quality control the roughness measurement system is monitored on a regular basis performed with a single certified reference sample. The automated part handling process maximizes the mean time to assist. IMSTec’s fully automated part surface roughness determination system targets measurement applications in particular for medical devices such as orthopaedic implants. The key component of the roughness measurement system is a high-precision confocal laser scanning displacement sensor. When the part-/fixture assembly is loaded into the measurement station it will be positioned for roughness measurement by a combination of seven actuators mounted on a solid granite table placed on four damping elements for enhanced stability and accuracy.
