InfiniteFocusSL - Bruker Alicona

InfiniteFocusSL- As fast and intuitive as 3D surface measurement can be

InfiniteFocusSL is a cost efficient optical 3D measurement system for easy, fast and trace- able measurement of form and finish on micro structured surfaces. Users measure both form and roughness of components with only one system. In addition, color images with high contrast and depth of focus are achieved. The long working distance of up to 33mm in com- bination with its measurement field of 50mm x 50mm allows a wide range of applications. Measurements are achieved in seconds and features, such as a coaxial laser for quick and easy focusing, further increase usability. With an automation interface, InfiniteFocusSL is also applied for fully automatic measurement in production.

Features of the Optical 3D Measurement System - InfiniteFocusSL:

1. Automatic measurement of dimension and roughness

Focus-Variation technology captures short focal ranges and performs vertical scanning, providing both morphological and color information of the sample.

2. Reconstruct the complete 3D model

Real3D technology enables users to capture complete surface information of the sample. The sample stage features two calibrated tilt and rotation axes, maintaining high accuracy, excellent precision, and repeatability.

3. Precision – Speed – Flexibility

Expanding from 3 to 5 axes enables measurement of complex or otherwise inaccessible geometries. The high-precision tilt and rotation axes ensure accurate evaluation of GD&T features and surface roughness over the entire component.

Success Story: Optical 3D Measurement and AI Deliver Reliable Dynamic Measurement and Intelligent Classification

To implement a new laser cleaning process, the automotive supplier Vitesco Technologies sought a measurement system to monitor the performance and quality of laser processing in mass production. The Bruker Alicona Optical 3D Measurement System provides not only detailed 3D surface morphology but also an integrated classification software.
Powered by AI, this software automatically detects and classifies surfaces as OK or NOT OK, ensuring reliable quality control and process consistency.

Inspection Report: Plug-in connectioPlug-in connection

The most diverse types of plug connections are used in electromechanical components in billions of applications. High precision and perfect fit are essential to ensure the long-term functionality of these parts.

With InfiniteFocusSL, all critical pin parameters can be measured easily and quickly. The results are highly repeatable and completely independent of the operator. In addition, various pin variants with different surface types can be measured reliably.

A Success Story: Optical 3D Measurement of Pin Geometry

Frank Uibel, a long-time expert in press-fit technology and an active member of IPC, recommends Bruker Alicona technology as a “fast, simple, and precise measurement tool” for verifying the geometry of press-fit zones and connector holes.
We wanted to learn why, so we asked him a few questions (update coming soon).
