3D Surface Gauge does not cause surface damage/defects.April 12, 2004 - CMMaster™ 3D Optical Surface Gauge combines moiré imaging technology with proprietary software algorithms to create 3D surface measurement system. Non-contact surface contour gauge provides measurements with 0.001 in. or better resolution, and results can be compared to CAD and CMM data. Optical system can measure areas larger than 3 ft in dia in one view, while full field imaging technique accommodates parts of varying shapes and sizes without setup or stringent placement tolerances.

CMMaster™ 3D Surface Gauge
Significantly reduce inspection time, eliminate surface damage and defects caused by contact with mechanical gauges, and improve process control with CMMaster™ 3D Optical Surface Gauge from IQ Systems.
Intelligent Quality Systems introduces CMMaster™ 3D Optical Surface Gauge. This unique non-contact surface contour gauge provides high-resolution measurements while significantly reducing measurement time. CMMaster™ improves the speed and efficiency of your critical surface gauging applications. CMMaster™ is engineered to make complex measurements faster and more reliable.
Perform difficult measurements quickly and easily without expensive fixtures while increasing your inspection throughput and efficiency. CMMaster™ generates results in a fraction of the time required by standard CMM’s. Results can be compared to CAD and CMM data, quickly providing valuable process control information that can help reduce scrap and increase manufacturing efficiency.
CMMaster™ combines patented advanced moiré imaging technology with proprietary software algorithms to create a state-of-the-art, high-speed 3D surface measurement system. The unique optical system can measure areas larger than three (3) feet in diameter in a single view while maintaining depth resolutions of 0.001” or better. The large full field imaging technique accommodates parts of varying shapes and sizes without time-consuming setup, excessive part handling, or stringent placement tolerances.
CMMaster™ benefits include:
• Significantly faster, less costly inspection.
• Faster feedback reduces waste.
• Increases part throughput by reducing cycle time.
• Improves the efficiency of quality control process.
