Measurement System

The Miniconoscan 3000 is a non-contact measurement system suited for making fast, accurate, and repeatable three-dimensional, non-contact, precision measurements of metal, plastic, and rubber industrial molds, machined parts, and tools.

The device uses a patented technology Conoscopic Holography, which allows measurements up to 500 points per second dynamically, while the stages are in motion. This allows extremely precise three-dimensional digital images of virtually any surface.

Just by changing the probe, anything from a "sub-micron to 200 millimeters can be measured exactly. The unit provides three-dimensional measurement capability using precise X and Y stages. For most applications, the precision and repeatability is greater than 1/8000th of the working range.

The company says the device is the only non-contact, three-dimensional measuring system that is collinear. It has applications in reverse engineering of both parts and molds, as well as quality, maintenance, and repair of molds. It can be used on applications otherwise immeasurable at industry-required accuracies, including measurement of steep angles, blind slots, small-radius holes, and intricate contours.
