Proscan 2100

The Proscan 2100 is a state-of-the-art profilometry system and uses more than three  decades’ expertise. We make regular upgrades to the Proscan 2100 system and its software, guided by our client needs and knowledge of the non-contact surface measurement industry.

Our latest upgrades and innovations include:

• Granite frame – the main structure of the Proscan 2100 is produced in granite offering superior thermal characteristics and improved vibrational dampening
• Utilising linear motors and high pedigree stage design, the motors are completely de-coupled from the stage motion, resulting in minimal machine noise being introduced to the scan data
• New motors are much lighter, reducing the mass of the stage and subsequently improving both the smoothness and quietness of stage motion

In addition to these improvements, our flagship profilometry system still retains its already impressive array of features and benefits, including:

• High speed measurement up to 1,000 points per second, coupled with high resolution from 5nm using chromatic aberration, enables the measurement of millions of points on a surface
• A range of interchangeable sensors offers total flexibility within a single system, with measuring ranges in height from 110µm to 50mm and resolutions from 5nm to 2.3µm
• The capacity to measure polished and transparent materials
• Non-contact measurement avoids damage to highly polished, delicate or soft materials
• Scantron’s confocal chromatic sensor technology provides unmatched measuring performance
• With a scanning area of 150mm x 100mm, a diverse range of samples may be measured, making this instrument very versatile and easy to set-up
• Matrix scanning enables arrays of parts to be measured individually or scans can be combined for measuring irregular shapes
• Proscan software was designed to be used intuitively. New users can easily achieve very precise scans with little training, thus making the instrument accessible to all
• With a rugged construction, the Proscan 2100 can be used on the shop floor or in a laboratory, providing precise measurements for many years
• Spot size from just 2µm diameter
• ProForm – specialist software for dental applications; this software package allows for specialised before-and-after analysis of materials subjected to erosion, wear or tribological testing, for use with the Proscan 2100

The Proscan non-contact 3D surface measurement instrument is being successfully used in many industries for non-contact applications where it is important to know the surface characteristics or form of the surface.
