2D line profiling from 3D a measurement

 

Surface shape profiles, including surface texture, peak-to-valley and Ra surface roughness measurements are imbedded in three dimensional surface measurements, and can be extracted as linear profiles at any location or direction in the 3D data.

Surface profile measurement software provided with the ADE Phase Shift optical profiler MicroXAM allows you to draw profiles which are linear and radial, and automatically calculate step height or peak to valley data on the fly as the profile location alters at the click of a mouse.

Correllation between the height sensitivity of a stylus profiler and a MicroXAM optical profiler is extremely precise.
