Electronic Autocollimators

Autocollimators are optical measuring instruments that can measure the smallest changes in the angular position of optical reflectors. In electronic autocollimators, the autocollimation image is detected by means of CCD lines or a matrix sensor. Electronic autocollimators are primarily used for the following measuring tasks: small angle measurement, ultra-precise angle adjustment and calibration, quality assurance of machine tools and their components, assembly automation, angular position monitoring.

The high-precision goniometers of the GONIOMAT product series are indispensable measuring instruments in optics manufacturing and quality control. They enable the angular measurement and inspection of optical prisms, polygon mirrors, wedge plates and angle measures with a measuring accuracy of up to 0.4 angular seconds. An overview of the technical data of all available models can be found here

GONIOMAT A PLUS

The fully automatic goniometer GONIOMAT APLUS is the perfect measuring instrument for measuring and testing of angles, optical prisms, polygon mirrors, wedges and angle gauge blocks. The thoughtful mechanic-optical design and the innovative hard- and software guarantee the high reliability of measurement results and an excellent accuracy of 0.4 arcsecond.

Goniomat A5

The GONIOMAT A5 does not require compressed air to achieve a measurement accuracy of 1.0 arc seconds. The user-friendly control is done by the proven GONIOMATIK Software. It is the cost-effective alternative to the fully automatic GONIOMAT APlus.

GONIOMAT M5 / M5 XL

The GONIOMAT M series, with its combination of manually rotatable precision rotary table and software-supported evaluation of the angle encoder signals in relation to the autocollimation image, enables easy handling with frequently changing test specimen types and, at the same time, low measurement uncertainty. The goniometers are ideally suited for in-process production monitoring as well as incoming and outgoing inspection.

Extension for Ground Prisms

The auxiliary device for the GONIOMAT for angle measurement of prisms with fine ground surfaces. It consists of a collimator f=100 D40 and a deflection system for subsequent mounting on the granite plate of an existing GONIOMAT M5, M 10 or A5. The extension enables the measurement of ground prisms (roughness Rq = 1 .0 µm or less) with a maximum measurement uncertainty of 10 arc seconds.

GONIOMATIK Software

The software is part of the GONIOMAT M and GONIOMAT A product series. It is characterized by a simple and sophisticated user interface and is executable under WINDOWS®10. The software enables standard-compliant evaluation of measurements (ISO 10110-1, VDI 2605 as well as DIN 3140) and offers comprehensive protocol functions. Further components of the software are tolerance specifications and checks as well as an innovative beam calculation based on ray-tracing.

Interferometers

Interferometers are essential measurement tools for the production and quality control of optical components and systems. Their applications range from testing the flatness and sphericity of surfaces to measuring radii and testing the performance of optical systems.
Micro-Interferometer VI-direct

The Micro-Interferometer VI-direct extends the range of flatness testing to the domain of smallest diameters. The Fizeau-type interferometer is able to measure the surface flatness of optical parts with a diameter between approx. 0.8 mm to 3.6 mm. The cost effective Micro-Interferometer VI-direct can be used for testing of optical parts like micro-prisms, laser crystals, fiber endings etc..

- Interferometer VI-direct 50 PUL
INTOMATIK-S

The INTOMATIK-S software uses the static fringe evaluation method for calculating the surface shape deviation and is thus almost free of influences due to air turbulence or vibrations. However, the fringe evaluation does not achieve the same accuracy as the phase shift algorithm of the INTOMATIK-N software and also cannot automatically determine the sign of the surface shape deviation.

INTOMATIK-N

Due to the phase shifting algorithm the software INTOMATIK-N offers higher accuracy and a larger measuring range with respect to surface form deviations in comparison to the INTOMATIK-S. Additionally the sign of the surface form deviation is automatically determined.

Optical Testing Instruments

In addition to the modular test telescopes, collimators and autocollimators, we offer a range of other visual devices for a variety of measuring and testing tasks in the optical workshop.
CIFOS

The CIFOS is a measuring device for measuring and checking centering tolerances of optical systems. Contact us and tell us the key points of your lens system to be checked, such as the diameter of the optics, surface radii and coating of the individual surfaces, and we will create a customized measurement solution.

Secondary Image Angle Measuring Device (SIAM)

The SIAM is a measuring device for determining the angle between the primary and secondary image on windscreens in accordance with ECE regulation ECE R43. The device consists of an eye-safe laser beam source (laser safety class 2), a testing telescope and the evaluation software. Due to the optical arrangement the measurement is independent of the distance between light source, windshield and testing telescope. The included software allows the automatic determination of the angle as well as the recording of the angle together with the corresponding measuring position on the windshield in a protocol.
