High-precision, non-contact measurement of surface texture

Nowadays, the properties of surface topographies are increasingly influenced by new processing methods and new materials.
The traditional profile stylus method is often not adequate to characterize the functional behavior of surfaces. Three-dimensional recording and evaluation are required. Soft and thin-walled materials also require non-contact measurement.
Moreover, ever higher levels of surface quality are being achieved, greatly increasing the requirements placed on measuring systems in terms of resolution and measuring accuracy.

The MarSurf WS 1 satisfies all these requirements:

• Vertical resolution 0.1 nm (.004 μin)
• Three-dimensional measurement and evaluation in only a few seconds
• Compact measuring station configuration for the workshop and laboratory
• MarSurf XT 20 software
• Topographical evaluation software on the fully standardized and powerful MarWin
   software platform

The MarSurf WS 1 can be used both in precision inspection rooms and production environments. Other optical measuring principles quickly reach their limits when measuring various types of surfaces.
Some cannot handle high surface reflectiveness while others cannot measure rough surfaces properly if, indeed, at all.
The MarSurf WS 1 and its innovative measuring signal evaluation enables analysis of both reflective and rough workpieces. For example, the high vertical resolution allows you to measure the surface roughness of optical components such as lenses or mirrors with sub-μm accuracy. You are also able to measure the texture of
micromechanical components. The material involved is irrelevant here.
