Tropel® FlatMaster® Surface Form Analysis System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Tropel® FlatMaster® Surface Form Analysis System is designed for fast and precise measurements of various surface finishes on precision components. It utilizes a non-contact optical technique to analyze entire surfaces in seconds, offering a resolution of five nanometers and a standard accuracy of 50 nm.
Key Benefits:
  • Improves product quality, manufacturing yield, and throughput.
  • Lowers manufacturing costs and reduces time-to-market.
  • Increases process awareness and customer satisfaction.
Performance Specifications:
  • Part Size Range: Varies by model (FlatMaster 40, 100, 200) from 5 mm to 200 mm.
  • Dynamic Range: Greater than 50 µm to 100 µm depending on the model.
  • Measurement Method: Grazing Incidence Interferometry.
  • Accuracy: 50 nm with repeatability of 15 nm.
  • Measurement Time: Typically 5 seconds.
  • Measured Data Points: Up to 230,000 million per measurement.
Materials and Surfaces: The system can measure metals, glass, polymers, ceramics, and more, with surface finishes including ground, lapped, polished, honed, and super-finished.
Software and Data Management: The Tropel Metrology Software (TMS™) provides standard measurements and user-defined report layouts. Data can be managed in various formats including Excel® and CSV.
Environmental and Facility Requirements:
  • Temperature: 15 °C to 25°C.
  • Humidity: 5% to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing.
  • Power: 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 4 Amp.
