Surface Measurement

Surface Measurement – Precision for Perfect Results

Our expertise in surface measurement enables you to ensure the quality and functionality of your products. Characteristics such as roughness, waviness, and contour have a significant impact on the performance and service life of components. Using state-of-the-art metrology and in-depth expertise, we analyze and optimize your surfaces so that you can achieve maximum reliability and efficiency.

Why is surface measurement so important?

• Process Monitoring and Optimization: Regular measurements help monitor and optimize manufacturing processes. Deviations in roughness or structure can indicate problems such as tool wear at an early stage.
• Performance Enhancement: Improved surface quality reduces friction, increases wear resistance, and helps prevent corrosion.
• Safety and Reliability: In industries such as medical technology or aerospace, precise surface measurements are essential to comply with standards and specifications.
• Standards and Specifications: International standards define clear requirements for surface characteristics. Precise measurements ensure that these requirements are met.
• Ensuring Functionality: The roughness of a surface affects seals, running surfaces, and plain bearings. A flawless surface is essential for the optimal performance of your components.
• Haptics and Appearance: For visible or tactile components, a uniform and high-quality surface is an important quality feature.

Flash and Edge Break

Flash is a typical form defect that occurs during injection molding or other casting processes. It often forms fine, three-dimensional structures that are difficult to capture using conventional measurement methods. If such parts are rejected, scrap rates increase and put pressure on profit margins. Precise measurement of flash geometry and dimensions helps identify problems quickly and prevent them from occurring.
