Surface topography in data storage technology
Hard disk drives are everywhere, and everyone relies on them working reliably and perfectly. To guarantee these essential aspects, manufacturers and their suppliers devote significant energy to development and manufacturing.
Polytec gives them a helping hand in this regard. Whether you’re dealing with hard drive bearings, hard drive disks, or read/write heads, Polytec’s range of surface metrology products helps you boost reliability in your production processes.

Surface profilers for your metrology tasks
Micro Profiler
Micro.View profiler systems are optimized for measurements with sub-nanometer resolution. With focused optics and high vertical resolution they enable detailed analysis of microstructures, surface finish and material distribution where even the smallest deviations matter.
Macro Profiler
Pro.Surf with its areal topography scanning determines form and flatness faster. Its telecentric optics with large Z range reaches holes and recessed surfaces. The largest FoV and True Stitching handles big samples and multi-sample measurements with ease. Upgrade to Pro.Surf+ and also analyze roughness all-in-one.
Metro.Lab
Metro.Lab is a compact, wide-area surface profiler. It combines high measurement performance with a small footprint—ideal for space or budget conscious applications that still require reliable 3D surface data.
Choose the right surface profiler with confidence—benefit from our "try before buy" approach.
Discuss your demands with our experts
Let’s start with a short discussion about your parts, tolerances, and workflow—and, if useful, we can add a feasibility study, PolyMeasure (contract measurements), or a PolyRent trial as optional next steps.
