InfiniteFocus G6 - Bruker Alicona

InfiniteFocus G6 - Verify dimensional accuracy and surface finish with one system

 

 

InfiniteFocusG6 is an accurate, fast and universal optical 3D measuring instrument for tolerances in the µm and sub-µm range. Components are measured areal based, in high-resolution regardless of size, material, geometry,
weight, and surface finish. Our new 6th generation of InfiniteFocus offers several proven features and new innovations, combining the functionalities of a surface roughness measurement device (Ra, Rq, Rz/Sa, Sq, Sz) with the features of a coordinate measuring machine. Users measure form and roughness with only one optical sensor.

InfiniteFocus is made for users, focusing on their requirements. It is all about speed, ease of use and efficient workflows

  • Fast axes and innovative optics with modern algorithms ensure short measurement times
  • The MetMaX software sets new standards in usability. Users specify measurements already on the CAD model of a component. A digital twin combined with a virtual measurement simulation enables safe operation of the measuring instrument.
  • Single-button solutions and automated measurement sequences ensure efficient workflows and measurements without user interaction.

 

 

 InfiniteFocus G6, Future-proof technologies:

 

Combining 3 technologies, the optical sensor sets new accuracy standards

  • Advanced Focus-Variation combines the functionalities of a roughness measuring instrument and a coordinate measuring machine. Users measure workpieces with steep flanks, varying reflections and structured roughness. The integrated SmartFlash technology ensures high-resolution measurements of smooth, reflective and highly polished surfaces.
  • Real3D is the key for 360° measurement of complex micro geometries. Based on single measurements from different directions, users obtain a complete 3D data set.
  • Vertical Focus Probing enables the optical lateral probing of components. Users measure holes and vertical flanks (>90°). Thanks to its architecture, the measurement system offers high flexibility for operators. InfiniteFocus measures a wide range of components with only one sensor.

Software MetMaX - Sufficient automation capability for measurement, eliminating the need for users to ask the question, "How do I measure this?"

This is the core objective of the MetMaX software – a fully automated software solution integrated into the InfiniteFocus G6 optical 3D measuring machine. Thanks to MetMaX, the operator is not required to have special in-depth measurement knowledge to run the InfiniteFocus G6 optical 3D measuring machine. All the necessary knowledge is already contained within the MetMaX software, which knows how to measure and how to analyze the 3D data.

 

 

Automated measurement solution with a Robot arm: Pick & Place

The InfiniteFocus G6 optical 3D measuring machine can be integrated with a robot arm to form an automated system for loading and unloading the measuring sample from the stage, performing measurements, reporting, and classifying the sample – this is also known as the Pick & Place Solution.

Practical example, roughness measurement using Infinite Focus G6

 

Measurement of bone screws with roughness

 

Real3D Technology allows users to acquire the complete form/geometry of measuring samples in a full 360° view. Here, the software performs a direct comparison with the corresponding CAD file. Furthermore, surface roughness provides more comprehensive detailed information.

 

 

Roughness Sufface

 

SmartFlash allows high resolution measurements of materials with varying surface characteristics or reflectivity. Modulated light provides optimal illumination throughout the whole measurement area. Users measure glossy, ground, rough, reflective and diffuse
components.
