Products
To make measurement of these different sample dimensions possible, the measurement head is mounted to a height-adjustable stage. The measurement point of the autocollimator measurement head can be moved flexible and precisely into the measurement position of the sample by a motorized fence. The entire measurement process, for example for measurement and alignment of multilens assemblies, can be fully automated.
