How to measure smallest components with highest precision
As a manufacturer of precision components for watches or other precision devices you are challenged by high quantity output and highest quality at the same time. Very high demands are placed on all components in terms of dimensional accuracy. This applies to gears, shafts and rivets as well as to injection molded plastic parts.
Benefit from Bruker Alicona's optical 3D measurement solutions for the quality control of your precision components and determine dimensional accuracy, GD&T features and surface quality with a single system. With Vertical Focus Probing technology, users can optically probe components laterally and over the entire surface for the first time. This also enables the measurement of holes or bores with a diameter-to-depth ratio of 1:3 to 1:10.

Lecture: Higher efficiency & function prediciton in micro gearing
The production of micro components with tolerances of only a few μm represents a major challenge for manufacturing. That's why the teams from wbk Institute of Production Science at KIT in Karlsruhe, Germany, and Dentsply Sirona aim at optimizing the quality assurance of micro gears. In this project, the µCMM from Bruker Alicona is used for in-line metrological acquisition during micro gear production.
