MicroDynamics Promotes Micro QC Inspection Microscope For Cylindrical Work
The MicroDynamics "QC" line of inspection microscopes are uniquely designed to provide accurate and repeatable non-contact surface roughness measurements. The Surface Roughness module of our MicroScan (μScan) software provides all the information necessary for complete surface analysis.
The data collected is designed to comply with the ISO 25178 3D standard for absolute quantification of the condition of a surface. Data outputs include values for Sa (roughness average), Sq (root mean of roughness) Sskew (surface asymmetry), Skurtosis (surface "spikiness") as well as Sp, Sv, and Sz parameters.
"Always matching and often exceeding the results and capabilities of far more expensive confocal instruments, the 3DQC Inspection Microscope contributes to a strong positive return on investment," says Mark Windham, MicroDynamics Controller.
The key to the accuracy and repeatability of the "QC" line is the use of broad spectrum, short coherence length interferometric technology. This technique eliminates ambiguity and allows for the measurement of surfaces with deep or sharp features that cannot be reached with stylus type devices. Narrow grooves or scratches with vertical walls present no challenge for the "QC" line.

The 3DQC unit is a rugged, industrial use roll scope designed to securely seat onto cylindrical objects. The unique foot design allows for secure measurement of the cylindrical surface. The μQC provides for the ultimate in measurement flexibility.
Its weight of only 2.2 kilograms makes it perfect for use with robotic arms and CMM heads allowing for true "hands free" operation. Truly adaptable, it is the ideal surface roughness measurement add on to x/y, x/y/z and x/y/z/ alpha/beta base systems.
