Mx 9.1 software extends Zygo’s collaborative metrology software with Asphere+ Analysis functionality, providing a common toolset to explore aspheric surface data obtained using any instrument. Best-fit prescriptions can be obtained for a wide range of surface types, and the 3D deviation between part and design can be examined and exported for…

FT-QPSI Interferometry Vibration Solution

FT-QPSI builds upon the QPSI anti-vibration solution that ZYGO introduced in 2014. Both solutions are a nod towards the fact that laser interferometry is transitioning away from carefully controlled lab environments as a growing number of applications demand easy, reliable solutions in environments where it was previously impossible to achieve…

Nexview Profiler

Zygo Corp. announced the Nexview profiler, its next-generation 3D imaging and measurement system for rapid, precise, quantitative and interactive surface metrology.

Non-contact metrology for advanced manufacturing

To contact or not to contact. That is the measurement question. Today, as parts get smaller and more complex, metrology discussions center around contact or non-contact measurement especially as these smaller and more complex components can be damaged by contact with a probe.

Tricks and techniques for specifying surface texture parameters

ZYGO caught up with Dr. Mark Malburg of Digital Metrology and Carl Musolff of Musolff Consulting to discuss how to get the most out of surface parameters. Their years of front-line experience provide valuable insight into precision manufacturing processes, and why choosing the right type of metrology, and examining the correct parameters, are…

ZYGO displays automated optical measurement at IMTS

Zygo Corp. is showcasing part of its 3D optical profiler range — the ZeGage Pro HR, the NewView 9000, and the NewView NX (fitted with a robotic arm to demonstrate how sample measurements can be automated) — and the VerifireTM 3.39 IR laser interferometer.

Make better gears with precision metrology

To ensure the surfaces on the gears are optimized, it is essential to use metrology tools to analyze, understand, and characterize.

Overcoming vibration issues when using laser interferometry

Laser interferometry is susceptible to vibration issues. New technology is solving that problem.

Efficiently manufacturing using 3D optical metrology

Woodward Inc., with over 50 years of heritage in the aerospace industry, develops and delivers motion control and integrated propulsion systems. Much of Woodward's success can be attributed to an approach of applying total system solutions in meeting the needs of customers and staying at the forefront of served industries.

Metrology meets Industry 4.0

When looking at the place of metrology in the “Fourth Industrial Revolution,” it is interesting to ponder whether Industry 4.0 is being driven by developments in metrology or metrology developments are being driven by Industry 4.0.

Additive manufacturing’s new frontiers for production, validation

Over the last few decades, additive manufacturing (AM)/3D printing has fundamentally changed the way that manufacturers approach product development. Industry is now almost universally aware of the term rapid prototyping, using AM to convert 3D CAD data into physical models in a matter of hours.
