NPFLEX-LA? Non-Contact, 3D Surface Metrology System for Lead Angle - 3

High-Performance Metrology Designed for the Rigors of Industry Precision manufacturing requires gage R&R-capable metrology tools that provide reliable, quantitative statistical data for day-to-day process and quality control. Residing on a square, granite surface floating atop a vibration- eliminating air table, the rugged floor-standing NPFLEX ensures precision measurements. The granite base handles up to 170 pounds, and the bridge gantry is designed to provide extreme resistance to vibration commonly found on manufacturing floors. The instrument head is mounted on precisely-aligned posts...

NPFLEX-LA? Non-Contact, 3D Surface Metrology System for Lead Angle - 4

Unparalled Flexibility in a Precision Metrology Solution Non-destructive characterization of extremely diverse sample types In the past, manufacturers have had to destructively dissect products to measure certain areas of interest. NPFLEX is designed specifically for investigating widely varying sample sizes and shapes without damaging the sample. Insensitive to material type, the system’s WLI technology provides 3D, non-contact measurements of virtually any surface feature. It’s equally adept at imaging in deep trenches, high-aspect ratio holes, and samples with high topographic relief. A...
