As a core component of any NOVACAMTM 3D metrology system, the MICROCAMTM-3D/4D interferometer provides light source to optical scanning probes and carries out the optical and electronic processing of measurements.
Novacam interferometers MICROCAM-3D and MICROCAM-4D offer:
• Micron-precision 3D measurements – roughness, geometry (GD&T parameters), thickness, vibration, defects
• Fast acquisition rate of up to 100 kHz, i.e., 100,000 3D point measurements per second
• Measurements not affected by ambient lighting, air perturbation, or cutting of the beam
• Modularity and versatility of deployment, with fiber based optical probes that may be integrated on motion stages, robots, gantrys, CMMs, and CNCs.
• Many additional advantages offered by the underlying technology, low-coherence interferometry.
A selection of NOVACAM fiber-based optical probes is available to provide non-contact surface and cross-sectional measurement in a wide range of industrial inspection applications.
Overview of features and benefits
• 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
• Roughness, geometry, thickness, vibration
• Long stroke profilometry
Imaging
• Surface profiles
• Cross-sections of transparent or semi-transparent material
• Volumetric images
Fiber-based probes
• Inspect even inside bores, tubes, and crevices
• Are non-contact and therefore not a consumable
• Are easily installed wherever required in the process—on a CNC, robot head, or any combination of precision stages
• Provide versatility for high-speed online inspection
