NOVACAMTM OPTICAL 3D PROFILOMETERTM system is fiber-based and provides:
• Micron-precision 3D measurements
- Dimensional geometry – GD&T parameters
- Roughness measurement
- Defect detection – cracks, scratches
- Thickness measurement of semi-transparent materials
• Option to scan even hard-to-reach surfaces: Side-looking probe scans inside bore IDs and other tight spaces, forward-looking probe is also available
• Fiber-based probes that are easy to integrate with precision stages, third-party CMMs, CNC machines, or robots to support high-volume continuous flow manufacturing
• Fully configurable automated inspection.
Notably the same probe can be used to measure dimensions, roughness, defects, and/or thickness.
Measurements
• Optical, non-contact, non-destructive
• High speed: Up to 100,000 3D point measurements per second
• Micron resolution, excellent S/N ratio
• 2D and 3D surface and subsurface characterization
• Dimensions, roughness, defects, thickness
• Long stroke profilometry
Imaging
• Surface profiles
• Cross-sections
• Volumetric images
Fiber-based probes
• Inspect inside bores, tubes, and crevices
• Provide versatility for high-speed online inspection
• Wide range of materials: metal, plastics, polymers, glass, metal coatings, silicone, adhesives; reflective, transparent, semi-transparent, specular, nonspecular
• Wide range of surfaces: measured objects can be stationary or moving, solid or liquid, and include interiors of bores and tubes, exteriors of cylinders, concave or convex spherical shapes
• Small-diameter probes reach in to measure insides of bores and small-diameter tubes
