Benchtop 3D Optical Profiler

The ContourX 3D Optical Profilometers are designed for gage-capable surface texture and roughness metrology in R&D and manufacturing environments. The white light interferometry (WLI) platform features Bruker’s new USI mode, a universal scanning mode that automatically determines the optimal measurement parameters for best metrology results, as well as Advanced PSI mode for lower-noise measurements and best-in-class, subnanometer Z resolution. Additionally, a 5MP camera and new stage design boosts large-area stitching, allowing for the collection of 1,000 high-resolution stitched fields.

This combination of features and capabilities enables greater convenience and productivity in a host of demanding research and industrial applications, ranging from studying novel material structures and characterizing manufactured components for medical, automotive, and aerospace to highly accurate measurements for precision machining, cosmetics, and semiconductor manufacturing.

The ContourX family of profilometers utilizes numerous Bruker-exclusive WLI technology advances to deliver the industry’s most capable benchtop metrology and easiest to use surface measurement software. Available in three benchtop models, the ContourX profilers feature a robust design and provides a range of capabilities and price points optimized to match individual metrology and budget requirements. New hardware features include an innovative stage design for larger stitching capabilities and a 5MP camera with a 1,200 x 1,000 measurement array for lower noise, larger field-of-view, and higher lateral resolution.

In addition to the USI and Advanced PSI modes, software enhancements include Bruker’s VisionXpress interface, which provides simple and intuitive access to the full power of the award-winning Vision64 analytical software suite and makes these profilers ideal for multi-user environments. The latest version of VisionMAP software further complements those features with customized reporting capabilities and implementation of advanced analysis solutions.
