Nanofocus μsurf mobile optical 3D surface measurement system

The Nanofocus μsurf mobile is a portable optical 3D surface measurement system suitable for portable roughness measurements, analysis of 3D structures and the measurement of microgeometry, topography, layer thickness and volume.

The system was developed especially for measuring large objects such as rolls and vehicle bodywork. The portable confocal microscope weighs only 5.5 kg and the system is ready for on-site use within a few minutes. Large-scale measurements are also possible along the radius of curvature of a roll due to integrated autofocus.

A typical measurement with the device takes 5–10 s. It is available in different configurations, giving users the opportunity to choose the set-up that best suits requirements. The portable measurement system can be transported safely from one location to the next in a roller case with a rollable workstation. It is now also available with an objective nosepiece.

A broad range of additional equipment makes it possible to use the device for portable 3D surface measurements in different industrial sectors. Special software solutions, such as for the paper and print or steel industry, are available. The quality of the texture on rolls in the printing or steel industry or the geometry of recessed cells can be precisely inspected and evaluated from the micrometre to the nanometre scale.

Additional benefits include high optical resolution, motorised x-, y- and z-axes and real 3D measurement data.
