Tropel® FlatMaster®-1

Tropel® FlatMaster® Surface Form Analysis System Fast and Precise Measurement of Ground, Lapped, Honed, Polished and Super-finished Components The Tropel® FlatMaster® offers industry leading performance for surface form measurements to precision component manufacturers. Our non-contact optical technique analyzes the entire surface of the part in seconds, regardless of its size or complexity. The FlatMaster provides five nanometer resolution and a standard accuracy of 50 nm (2.0 n”). It rapidly and accurately measures flatness, line profile, radius and other surface parameters on a variety of materials and surface finishes. A FlatMaster on the shop floor or in the QC lab will significantly improve processes, yields and productivity via full-form measurements with unprecedented speed and throughput. Key Benefits Improves product quality, manufacturing yield and throughput Lowers manufacturing costs Increases process awareness and understanding Reduces time-to-market Increases customer satisfaction High resolution and accuracy Large dynamic range Fast measurements -- complete surface analysis in seconds Excellent reproducibility results from operator to operator Measures a variety of material types Measures a wide range of surface finishes Easy to Use Place the part and measure, little or no fixturing required Intuitive recipe driven operation Suitable for production, quality control, or development environments
