Magazine about dimensional metrology & surface roughness measurement

Our FOCUSvariation magazine covers trend topics in optical metrology. We take a look at current topics that move the industry from our perspective and present solutions that we offer. A constant in every issue is the chapter of user case stories. Users report from their practical experience about their measurement task, which Bruker Alicona system they use and which advantages they gain with Focus-Variation.

Optical Metrology Magazine Bruker Alicona

In the 9th issue we especially focus on these trend topics:

Automation options with optical metrolgy

Automation options for networked manufacturing and digitization

Bruker Alicona offers various automation options for your shop floor. These include measurement of dimension, position, shape and roughness as well as easy interaction between administrator and machine operator, intuitive job management, high measurement accuracy and easy communication and networking with existing production systems including connection to an ERP and QM system.

MetMaX: From "How do I measure?” to "What do I measure?”

This is the core thinking behind MetMaX operating software. Thanks to this evolution, users do not need any specific metrology knowledge to perform robust measurements. MetMaX contains all the necessary knowledge on how to acquire and evaluate 3D data.

Metrology software for automated planning & reporting

Lateral probing of components with Alicona

Vertical Focus Probing: Lateral probing also works optically

Up to now, geometries such as bore holes of injection valves in the automotive industry were difficult to measure optically. The lateral probing of components with vertical surfaces was limited to tactile measuring systems, CT solutions or complex customized solutions. This changes with Vertical Focus Probing: Based on areal measurements, the optical probing of components over the entire surface is possible.

Success stories: Users report from all areas of precision manufacturing

MTU Aero Engines, Thales or Honda are just 3 of a series of new user reports. We let our customers from all over the world have their say in the fields of i.e. tooling, aerospace, automotive, electronics and medical technology.
