Rodenstock Surface Topography
Measurement System

The Rodenstock Model RM 600 3-D/C topography measuring station is used for mapping the topography of three dimensional surfaces. It can also be used to perform traditional surface texture measurements on delicate surfaces where a contact stylus might cause damage to the measured surface. The heart of the measuring system is a non-contact optical distance sensor which uses a dynamically focused infrared laser. Focal point diameter is approximately 2 micron. The displacement of the objective lens is measured inductively and this change is proportional to the vertical displacement of the surface of the part being measured.
