ZeGage provides cost-conscious solution to shopfloor form and roughness measurement

Zemetrics' ZeGage from Lambda Photometrics is a non-contact optical profiler for quantitative shopfloor measurements of 3D form and roughness on precision machined surfaces. Its design eliminates the need for vibration isolation or specialised enclosures and, using proprietary high precision SureScan technology, provides fast and accurate measurements in vibration-prone production environments, says Zemetrics.

The ZeGage has a through-the-lens focus aid for rapid part set-up, and a heavy duty sample stage with standard T-slots for part fixturing and optimal gauge-capable metrology. System versatility and areal measurements are enhanced with a wide range of field-of-view options, including manual or motorised turret options for mounting multiple objective lenses. The ZeGage is equipped with a 1 million pixel image sensor for superior surface detail and visualisation. Windows 7 64 bit-based ZeMaps analysis software, included with the ZeGage profiler, provides extensive 2D and 3D data analysis including form, step-height, and ISO/DIS 25178 compliant surface roughness parameters. ZeMaps interactive visualisation tools enable fast, easy and thorough process characterisation for a wide variety of surface metrology applications, says Zemetrics
