Waveline W920RC with Nanoscan measuring system for roughness and contour measurement and accessories

Short cycles for ultra-precise measurements

The Waveline W900 series was developed for measuring tasks in high-performance areas, e.g. in the environment of automated process chains. The systems have two interfaces for coupling the touch probes and optionally additional axes for automating measuring sequences. The arrangement of the touch probes and the innovative traverse concept ensure optimum access to the measuring points.

W900 measuring systems are used especially in automated measuring sequences for particularly fast and precise results. With their measuring axes, they guarantee short measuring cycles for complex measuring tasks and thus meet the highest demands on measuring technology. The high-precision traverse unit delivers excellent measuring accuracy in conjunction with the Nanoscan touch probe for combined roughness and contour measurement.
