The world’s most versatile, non-contact 3D form measurement platform for advanced large diameter optical surfaces.

The LUPHOScan 850 HD is designed to perform ultra-precision non-contact 3D surface form measurement of rotationally symmetric surfaces (optics) such as aspheric lenses, spheres, flats and slight freeform. Key benefits of the profiler/equipment include fast measurement speeds and high flexibility with regard to uncommon surface shapes (e.g. flat apexes or profiles with points of inflection).

Overview-

Taylor Hobson are pushing the boundaries of large optics metrology. Our expert metrologists are delighted to announce the launch of the LUPHOScan 850 HD

Built on the foundations of the world renowned LUPHOScan HD platform, the LUPHOScan 850 HD delivers stable non-contact metrology for large complex optics applications.

The instrument has been developed working and listening closely to our many partners in optics manufacturing. Our metrologists understand the importance designing a system that delivers highly accurate, repeatable and reliable measurement data.

Revolutionary measurement capability

• Class-leading measurement flexibility – From 5 mm up to 850 mm (dia.) x 210 mm (height)
• Large work load – Up to 350 kg
• Highly accurate – Capable of accurate and repeatable form error measurements to < λ/20 (PV99) and <5 nm RMS*
• High data density – Data density up to 6 million data points for accurate analysis of mid-spatials at large diameters
• Freeform measurement – Up to ±8 degs for tangential slopes (radial slopes 90 degs)
• Almost every material – Transparent, specular, opaque, polished or ground

Optimised technology for measurement accuracy and reproducibility

• Granite metrology frame – Homogeneous metrology frame ensures accurate compensation for thermal expansion with optimised design to minimise vibration
• Real time compensation of ambient conditions – 4 Temperature and 1 air pressure sensors
• Low system noise for the highest accuracy – Active anti-vibration deigned by TMC, delivers optimised isolation of the measurement loop
• Automatic centre and level – Consistently accurate results through complete measurement automation
