Frequently asked questions
What does a precision optics system measure?General reference — not yet source-verified
It measures properties of optical surfaces such as form, height variation, texture, and visible surface defects, depending on the method used.
Does this class of equipment contact the part being measured?General reference — not yet source-verified
Class-level precision-optics metrology systems are commonly noncontact, using light-based sensing rather than a physical probe.
Where is this type of machine used in production?General reference — not yet source-verified
It is used in inspection and process-control stages to evaluate parts after fabrication or during development of an optical process.
What kinds of problems can it help find?General reference — not yet source-verified
It can help reveal surface irregularities, shape errors, texture variation, and defects that may affect optical performance.
Why use optical metrology instead of direct mechanical measurement?General reference — not yet source-verified
Optical metrology is suited to delicate or highly finished surfaces because it can capture fine surface information without touching the part.
