The instruments are available in 1, 2 and 5 mm gauge ranges with an 18-bit gauge for improved resolution in surface detail, contour and 3D measurement. Software for the analysis of surface finish and form is included
Taylor Hobson says that a balanced beam design allows the instruments to be used in any orientation, while specially developed algorithms are deployed to eliminate instrument influence from the measurement results. Furthermore, a temperature compensation system monitors and feeds back changes in ambient temperature, ensuring measurement integrity, regardless of environmental conditions.
