XYRIS 4000CL (OR WL) SYSTEM EXAMPLE The XYRIS 4000 CL (Confocal Laser) is a compact state of the art surface profiling system that is capable of measuring form and thickness of various surfaces. It incorporates a CCD camera for on screen viewing of the surface under investigation, helping to identify areas or features of interest …
XYRIS 2000 TL (TRIANGULAR LASER) SYSTEM EXAMPLE The XYRIS 2000 TL is a versatile machine, integrating size and speed in one convenient package. It is a medium level system and can be manufactured to a variety of specifications encompassing a range of sensor and motion system options. Systems are typically up to 200mm x 300mm …
Sensor Types XYris Systems Series are all supplied with high precision sensors. CONFOCAL LASER (CL) Sensor A very small (2 micron) spot size and 10nm resolution makes this sensor ideal for measuring the smallest of features (sub micron level). It is also capable of measuring the thickness of transparent layers and has an integral video …

DENTAL EROSION AND TOOTH WEAR Tooth wear arises from multiple causes but most commonly from physical damage, acidic attack and tooth disease The resultant wear can be considered at multiple scales with each scale presenting unique problems for the accurate quantification of wear At the macro scale – complete arch sets or individual teeth – …
ELECTRICAL SWITCHING CONTACT WEAR & EROSION Electrical Contacts experience severe erosion from the action of the arc during switching Electric Arcing occurs during most switching operations and is effectively a high current plasma. Effects of individual switching events may be subtle but cumulative effects will still determine switching device reliability and lifetime Contact wear is fundamentally …
MEASURING SKIN Filtering Surfaces for Textural Analysis. Where there exist textures, repeating units or structures it is often illuminating to characterise those units quantitatively. Features could be defects on a machined surface or microstructures designed to encourage turbulence at the microfluidic scale. In this case we have an impression of human skin. Quantifying the structure of …
INSECT WING Quantitative Analysis of Paleontological Record. Surface Laser Scanning of Fossil Insect Wings. Palaeontology,Vol.47,Part1,2004,pp.13±19 Bethoux, Mcbride, Maul. Wing venation is a key metric in the taxonomy of fossilised insects however the majority of information available is qualitative rather than quantitative: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.0031-0239.2004.00344.x/epdf Optical measurement of these samples not only a valuable, non-invasive investigative tool but also …
