Measurement/Metrology Software
Bespoke surface measurement software development
Our in-house non-contact surface measurement systems such as the Proscan 2100 and Proscan 2D each have specifically developed software to allow easy and efficient use of the instrument. However, in some instances, it is necessary to develop bespoke software for additional, custom applications.
In these instances, Scantron can provide bespoke surface measurement and metrology software. Using our extensive experience and expertise, we work very closely with customers and partners to identify critical requirements for application-specific metrology software for a range of uses including:
- Defect detection and measurement
- Process control
- Flatness and shape measuring
- Batch measurement of parts
- Edge detection and dimensional measurement
Operation-specific metrology software
Our bespoke software can perform complex and operation-specific measurement task in a single button press. By taking this approach, the operator’s task is made quicker and easier and the subjectivity of the operation is removed. A report or result can then be generated with a colour-coded go/no-go filter to help the operator make a decision.
We can work with you to either develop special software for a standard Scantron system, or for a completely novel measurement system built specifically for your application.
Case study: Our Crossbow surface measurement software was developed to automatically locate the edge of strip/board products, and measure width, edge condition, bow, maximum height, ISO roughness and more… all with one button press. The display and software protocols can be tailored to a specific customer’s needs and their product shape.
A few examples of standard Scantron non-contact surface measurement software are given below.
| Gauge Type | Application |
| Proscan | Full 3D profilometry and surface measurement software |
| Proscan 2D | Measurement of height, width, roughness etc. in one direction on long, flat products |
| Proform | Wear and erosion measurement for dental abrasivity testing |
| Linescan | Rapid batch measurement of thin films |
| MasterTrak | For online measurement of width, thickness and profile with customisable features such as online comparison to the CAD model of insulation panels |
