Benefits of InfiniteFocus

Measurement of form and roughness also of surfaces with steep flanks and various material characteristics

All benefits of InfiniteFocus at a glance


  • Form and roughness measurement with only one system
  • Measurement of smallest radii and angles across large measurement volume
  • Measurement of steep flanks up to 86°
  • Registered 3D color information
  • Measurement of materials with varying reflection properties
  • Full form measurement of components


Form and roughness measurement with only one system

  • InfiniteFocus is an optical 3D surface measurement device and a form measurement device
  • with only one system users measure form as well as roughness of components
  • component geometries are measured even across large measurement areas and volumes in a vertical resolution of up to 10nm

Measurement of smallest radii and angles across large measurement volume

  • InfiniteFocus operates with up to 100 mil 3D measurement points
  • the high measurement point density enables repeatable measurement of smallest radii and angles
  • highest resolution is also achieved across a vertical scanning range of several mm

Measurement of steep flanks up to 86°

  • InfiniteFocus also measures components with flanks of up to 80°
  • flexible illumination allows the measurement of surfaces with pits and peaks in mm-range
  • measurement results, even of surfaces with steep flanks, are repeatable and traceable

Registered 3D color information

  • InfiniteFocus measures the topography including point accurate color information
  • Measurement areas are located quickly
  • color information enhances measurement accuracy when measuring larger measurement fields

Measurement of materials with varying reflection properties

  • InfiniteFocus measures compound material irrespective of reflection properties in highest vertical resolution
  • Focus-Variation technology adapts to the respective surface finish
  • this is how matt and glossy, rough and smooth, reflective and diffuse components are measured

Full form measurement of components

  • with an optional rotation unit components are automatically rotated around 360°
  • users measure and visualize components out of every perspective
  • this means that additional surface parameters such as clearance, thread pitch and concentricity tolerance of e.g. drills and milling cutters are measured

3d micro-coordinate measurement technique for roughness and form measurement

Alicona offers optical 3d surface measurement systems for quality assurance in research and production. Core competence is the measurement of roughness and form also across large measurement areas and volumes. The cutting edge measurement and the measurement of small radii and angles are typical applications. Focus-Variation, the core technique of the InfiniteFocus line, combines the traditional surface metrology and the micro coordinate measurement technology. This technology achieves traceable and repeatable results in highest resolution even in production.
