Your software for in-depth surface research and efficient production quality control
TMS is Polytec’s topography measurement software for the TopMap family. It acquires, filters, analyzes, and documents optical roughness and form parameters with high throughput, and offers an open architecture for application-specific interfaces and automated evaluation of routine tasks. Extend TMS with:
- QC Operator Interface – guided, recipe-based quality control for repeatable inspections
- TMS Viewer – lightweight result viewing and sharing
- Polytec Update – streamlined updates and version management
Together, these modules support deep research analysis and efficient, traceable quality control in production.
TopMap QC Package for quality inspection in production
TopMap surface metrology systems are designed to monitor manufacturing processes, assuring that production tolerances and process capabilities are met. The QC Package includes smart features and upgrade options for quality control tasks, especially for real-life production testing. Learn more about how the QC Package supports 3D surface inspections, especially in challenging production environments.
Innovative ECT Environmental Compensation Technology
On the factory floor, vibration, airflow, and part motion can degrade precision and trigger false rejects. QC Verifier delivers reliable pass/fail decisions on the line, reducing false rejects and scrap. Its ECT (Environmental Compensation Technology) isolates precision measurements from factory-floor influences such as vibration, noise, and motion for stable, traceable results.

From surface metrology to comprehensive topgraphy analysis
The TMS Software for Polytecs topography measurement systems (TMS) of the TopMap series offers a wide range of features and options for quick and easy routine measurements but also for your extensive and detailed surface analysis:
- Interference Finder automatically detects your surface under test
- Smart Surface Scanning technology enables measurements on surfaces with different reflection and contrast properties
- Work with masks, profiles and layers
- Evaluation in terms of many different 2D and 3D surface parameters
- Multitude of exportable characteristic values according to e.g. QS-Stat
- Creation of a task-specific user interface with application-specific add-ins
- Geometric evaluation options for sphere matching and for determination of step heights, layer thicknesses and volume
- Expanded maximum lateral measurement area by faster assembling of several measurements (stitching)
- Expanded reporting option sent results
The TopMap "measurement recipe" concept significantly simplifies the definition of acquisition settings (e.g. measurement position, illumination settings, camera parameters) and its evaluation parameters (post-processing steps, visualization possibilities, export options) for any specific measurement task. Especially in manufacturing environments, the TopMap recipes turn comprehensive surface analysis into simple one-click tasks.
