DualSnap™
Dual-Mode Snapshot On-Machine Metrology System
DuSnap™ is a compact, dual-mode on-machine metrology system designed for real-time surface measurement during production. By combining laser interferometry and LED interference microscopy, DuSnap™ enables in-situ measurement of surface form and roughness without part removal—improving accuracy, throughput, and process stability on the production floor.
- Key Features
- Dual-mode measurement of surface form and roughness
- Fast, assisted alignment enabled by dual-mode operation
- Snapshot measurement for production floor environments
- Snap-on installation on SPDT machines
- Rapid on-machine tool alignment
