Introducing HP-O: Revolutionizing Optical Measurement with Unparalleled Speed, Precision, and Detectability
In a groundbreaking development, Hexcon Meter has unveiled a new era of optical measurement with the introduction of its HP-O technology solution. This innovative platform is poised to redefine the digitization of the industry, offering unprecedented speed, precision, and detectability. By harnessing the power of interferometric optical sealing technology with frequency modulation, HP-O is redefining the rules of measurement.
A New Standard in Precision and Reliability
HP-O technology boasts precision and reliability comparable to traditional triggered scanning probes, while offering faster scanning speeds, an extended measurement range, and the benefits of universal optical contactless measurement. This makes it an ideal alternative to high-precision trigger scanning, particularly in situations where effective scanning measurements are necessary and trigger probes are difficult to access or may damage components during detection.
Multi-Capster Measurement Capability
The HP-O solution enables multi-capster measurement, allowing for the exchange of several optical probes and trigger probes in a single program. This feature makes it an ideal solution for applications that require flexible and efficient measurement. The solution is further enhanced by the inclusion of the quindo measurement software and the high-precision measurement machine Leitz PMM-C, providing a complete measurement system.
Unique Advantages
HP-O offers several unique advantages that set it apart from traditional scanning techniques. Key features include:
- Contactless measurement, which protects parts from mechanical damage, reduces wear and tear on styluses, and eliminates the need for spray painting.
- A reception angle of ± 30° and repeatability of less than 0.3 μm, ensuring precise measurement accuracy.
- A diameter of only 3 mm, allowing for measurement of small features and features that are difficult to reach with traditional probes.
- The ability to reduce the limits of mechanical detection, providing faster scanning speeds and enhanced measurement accuracy.
- High spatial resolution, enabling the measurement of even microscopic dimensions and achieving minimum detail measurements.
- Simple information on features with high punctual density, providing detailed insights into complex geometries.
A New Era of Measurement
According to Ingo Lindner, Director of Product Range at Hexcon Meter, "Many people want to solve the limits of trigger detection methods with optical measures, such as damage to the surfaces of sensitive parts. However, optical sensors are often difficult to integrate into the standard workflow of measuring machines with three coordinates, making them only used in special cases. HP-OS now has specially equipped three-coordinate measurement machines."
The introduction of HP-O technology marks a new era of optical measurement, offering unparalleled speed, precision, and detectability. As the industry continues to evolve, Hexcon Meter’s innovative approach to measurement is poised to revolutionize the way we approach digitization. Stay ahead of the curve and experience the transformative power of HP-O technology.
