Partnering with you across the full lifecycle of surface metrology
Polytec supports you throughout the full lifecycle of your optical surface metrology—helping you choose the right setup, get productive quickly, and keep your system performing reliably for years.
Whether you're scaling capacity, improving workflows, or adapting to new tolerances, our experts are here to ensure your metrology keeps pace with your needs—globally.
Application consulting & feasibility studies
Get clarity early. We evaluate your parts, materials, and tolerances to define the right metrology approach before you invest.
We start with a short discovery call and review of your requirements.
If needed, a feasibility study demonstrates achievable precision, suitable optics, and the optimal profiler configuration—using your actual sample.
- Identify the right technology (micro vs. macro vs. bench)
- Validate achievable accuracy & repeatability
- Remove uncertainty before CapEx decisions
- Secure a future-proof solution with clear documentation
- Evaluate whether a feasibility study or PolyRent is a good next step
Contractual measurement—Let us run your metrology analysis
Sometimes the most efficient way to solve a measurement challenge is not to operate the equipment yourself—but to rely on those who know it best. With our "PolyMeasure" offering, you gain direct access to experts, know-how and technology. Typical use cases we see:
- Quick troubleshooting with support from experts
- One-time measurement and diagnostics
- FE model validation
- Lack of in-house know-how and equipment
- Evaluate fit of measurement solution
When timing and expertise matters most—get in touch with our PolyXperts.
Customization & commissioning—tailored setups, fast start-up
When standard configurations aren’t enough, we adapt optics, fixtures, stages, and software workflows to your parts and processes. After installation, we commission the system on-site so you reach stable “first good measurements” quickly.
- Custom fixtures, optics, and workflow tuning for your parts
- Integration of your data formats, recipes, and QC processes
- On-site commissioning for fast, validated start-up
- Documentation and handover aligned with your quality requirements
Training & enablement—build lasting in-house metrology expertise
Our global team shows an average of over 15 years of experience in the field, bringing unparalleled knowledge of surface inspection on precision mechanics, semiconductors, optical components and more.
Sessions can cover best‑practice handling, template building, batch evaluation, automation options, backups and update procedures.
Upon request we offer custom trainings to help you make the most of your investment. Tell us about your topic and need!
Maintenance & repair—keep your system performing reliably
We handle scheduled calibrations, preventive maintenance, and fast troubleshooting—on-site or remotely. When repairs are needed, you receive a transparent assessment and a documented path back to production.
- ISO-aligned calibration and documentation
- Preventive maintenance to avoid unplanned downtime
- Fast repair turnaround (typically within two working days)
- Remote and on-site support options
- Ensures long-term accuracy and compliance for audits
Modernization & upgrade—grow with your metrology needs
Surface requirements evolve—tolerances tighten, parts change, and workflows mature. We help you adapt your installed base so your metrology stays reliable, efficient, and ready for what’s next.
We assess your system and recommend the quickest, most cost-effective upgrade path:
- Software upgrades and analysis modules
- Optics, objectives, and fixture enhancements
- Motorized stages, automation, or QC add-ons
- Migration to a new system with attractive financial models
For short-term capacity or project peaks, modernization can be combined with PolyRent to bridge temporary needs without full investment.
Kick-start your surface metrology:
Rent, lease or let us do your measurements
With PolyFlex, you get the measurement flexibility you need—access to top-tier metrology without the upfront investment. Choose leasing, rentals, or measurement-as-a-service, and scale your capabilities instantly. PolyFlex gives you the freedom to run projects, manage budgets, and make smarter decisions with exactly the level of support you need.
PolyMeasure—Let us do your measurement
Sometimes the fastest, most cost-effective way to get high-quality data is to let the experts handle it. With PolyMeasure, you get instant access to Polytec’s technology and know-how—no hardware purchase, no training, no ramp-up time.
Perfect for one-off tests, troubleshooting, peak workloads, or when resources are tight, PolyMeasure delivers accurate results on your timeline. Our specialists handle the measurements for you—or with you—either in a Polytec lab or directly at your site, so you get answers you can trust without slowing down your project.
Temporary access to measurement equipment
When budgets are tight, you still need to measure what matters—without waiting for CapEx approval. PolyRent gives you short-term access to the exact system you need, for weeks or months, fully calibrated and supported.
It’s the ideal way to bridge downtime, run trials, or add temporary capacity. You get faster results, lower risk, budget flexibility, and effortless scaling—so your projects keep moving, even when funding can’t.
Long-term technology leasing
With PolyLease, you get long-term access to advanced measurement systems without tying up capital—perfect when you need consistent capability but want financial flexibility. You keep the option to return or purchase later, while maintaining the performance your work depends on.
Your benefits: greater budget freedom, lower financial risk, and easy scaling as your projects grow.
