PGI Optics Simply the best form accuracy when measuring aspheric and diffractive optics Following its first release in 1984, the Form Talysurf quickly became the number one tool for optics manufacturers in measuring aspheric form error. Since then, we have installed thousands across the globe becoming a true industry standard. Our patented PGI (Phase Grating Interferometer) technology enables you to measure large sags with short length styli. This enables us to combine very high stiffness and low force offering much greater accuracy and repeatability than our competitors. New software!...

The benefits of PGI Optics Traceable & repeatable results Lens testing is made easy with guaranteed accurate results. Automatic cresting, measurement and analysis coupled with automated spike removal and radius optimisation help to give the most repeatable results. New gauge design with improved measurement range! The new PGI Optics large range gauge enables measurement of large sag lenses without compromise of accuracy. The latest PGI gauge will measure up to 14mm of sag with a 60mm long stylus and up to 28mm with a 120mm stylus. Connection to manufacturing process Our new X-offset and...

Software functionality to save time and improve error detection Aspherics Analysis Utility (AAU) Diffractive analysis Expressly designed for aspheric optical components the software fits measurement data to the component design formula, and aligns the resulting error profile with respect to the aspheric axis. Software for the analysis of diffractive components An increasing number of applications, particularly in infra-red applications, are making use of aspherodiffractive designs. Diffractive analysis software is written specifically to enable the assessment of these complex surfaces,...

Patented ball calibration routine from UKAS approved laboratory Dimensional measurement capability and gauge linearity Phase Grating Interferometer (PGI) gauge The Talysurf PGI systems use a patented ball calibration routine to ensure that both of these requirements are dealt with in a single, automated operation. Highprecision spherical calibration artefacts that have been produced to exacting standards and then calibrated for radius, form and surface finish in our own UKAS approved laboratory. This gauging technology, developed and patented by Taylor Hobson, delivers new levels of...
