Frequently asked questions

What kind of machine is Wyko IR6?General reference — not yet source-verified

Wyko IR6 is a precision optics metrology instrument used for optical measurement and inspection of surfaces and related optical characteristics.

What does this class of machine measure?General reference — not yet source-verified

Machines of this class are used to evaluate surface form, optical uniformity, and other properties that influence how an optical component performs.

Where is this class used in production?General reference — not yet source-verified

It is used in inspection and verification steps, especially after optical fabrication or assembly, to confirm that parts meet the required optical condition.

How does this class produce results?General reference — not yet source-verified

It uses controlled optical illumination and signal analysis to convert the response from a test surface into quantitative measurement data.

Why is this class important?General reference — not yet source-verified

It helps confirm optical quality, support process control, and identify surface defects or departures from expected form before a part is released for use.
