High-Flexibility 3D Optical Profilometer for Large and Complex Parts
Product Overview
The NPFLEX-1000 is a next-generation, fully automated 3D optical profilometer that combines the power of white light interferometry (WLI) with unmatched mechanical and software flexibility. With an open-gantry design and 300 mm working space between the stage and objective, the NPFLEX-1000 is optimized for handling large or unusually shaped parts — including cylinders, bores, gears, and curved surfaces — with sub-nanometer vertical resolution.
From automotive and medical device manufacturing to additive and precision machining, the system allows researchers and quality engineers to easily measure roughness, texture, wear, corrosion, and more — even on complex surfaces — with minimal sample preparation and exceptional reproducibility.
Key Features
- White Light Interferometry (WLI) delivers consistent nanometer resolution independent of magnification
- Advanced Find Surface™ enables one-click auto-focus and illumination
- Swivel head and bore-scope lens options allow measurement of sidewalls, high slopes, and bores up to 70° angle
- Open gantry with 300 mm clearance accommodates large or unusually shaped parts with minimal sample preparation
- Automated XY, Z, theta, and phi stages for multi-surface, multi-angle analysis
- Universal Scanning Interferometry (USI) adapts automatically to various surface textures in a single field of view
- Built-in laser reference with continuous calibration ensures long-term measurement stability
- Compatible with VisionXpress™ and Vision64® software for both basic and advanced metrology workflows
