Surface topography in data storage technology
Hard disk drives are everywhere, and everyone is reliant on them working reliably and perfectly. To guarantee these essential aspects, manufacturers and their suppliers devote much of their energies 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 write / read heads, Polytec’s range of surface metrology products help you to boost reliability in your production processes.
Surface profilers for your metrology tasks
Micro Profiler
Micro.View systems are optimized for ultra-high-resolution measurements in the sub-nanometer range. 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 systems enable fast, area-based 3D topography measurements with telecentric optics. They support reliable inspection of flatness, shape, parallelism and step heights across wide fields of view and in-bore features.
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.
