TopMap profilers: hardware, optics, software & service
Polytec offers complete optical surface metrology solutions for quality inspections of engineered surfaces and form evaluation – whether flatness or step-height on CNC-machined precision parts, warpage and form on smooth optics, or texture, finish or MEMS and microstructure analysis.
We build the most reliable white-light interferometers, backed by application service and know-how, 4 years of warranty and a lifetime free software updates.
Our profilers measure non-contact and promise precise and repeatable measurements. Benefit from the extraordinary large vertical range and high Z resolution, and the impressive Field-of-View (FOV) even allowing multi-sample measurements. Whether fast scanning of large samples or thorough texture and roughness analysis with sub-nm resolution – challenge the TopMap profilers and test for free!
Optical profilers
Optical profilers from Polytec are innovative, precise and non-contact measurement systems for characterizing the entire surface topography of a workpiece or a microstructure in 3D. With their large vertical range, nanometer resolution and the ability of areal measurement for large samples or multi-sample measurements in a single shot, these optical profilers are perfect for measurement laboratories or production testing needs.

TopMap Metro.Lab
Start with areal surface and form characterization even with a smaller budget! TopMap Metro.Lab as complete and compact surface test station allows to examine large workpieces quickly, with reliable and repeatable results from shiny to rough surfaces.
TopMap Pro.Surf
Pro.Surf stands for fast and professional 3D surface characterization: Capturing 2 million measurement points within seconds make sure to see every detail. Pro.Surf masters challenging production workflows with short measuring times. The exceptionally large field-of-view (FOV) captures big samples with image fields up to 33x44 mm in a single shot - while stiching expands to 230x220 mm with the flexible 70 mm Z range.
TopMap Pro.Surf+
The multi-sensor profilometry system measures areal topography and form on an exceptionally large field-of-view (up to 230x220 mm) like common for Pro.Surf – while adding the chromatic-confocal sensor for complementary roughness line profile evaluation. Fast scanning, repeatable measurements for combined form & roughness characterization resolved in the nm range.

Free guide on how to: Measurement System Analysis
Every measurement - whether with tactile or optical surface profilers - is subject to uncertainty. The measured values obtained are the basis for quality-controlled production and are thus a key component of quality assurance. However, the correctness of any conclusion drawn by a measurement depends not only on the suitability of the parameter, but also on how accurately and how reliably the measured values reflect the real conditions. Only if the measured value can be determined with a sufficiently small uncertainty in relation to the tolerance of the characteristic, the measurement process is suitable for the inspection task. This paper describes approaches and helpful capability figures of Measurement System Analysis (MSA).
