Tactile metrology is the point-based acquisition of the surface of an object by probing. At Optimax, we supply numerous precision engineering industries, including automotive and aerospace, with highly accurate tactile measurement systems. By far the most popular, coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) allow for the precise contact measurement of parts during design, testing and manufacturing phases. Additionally, more traditional profilometers are also available for determining surface contour.

Our CMMs work with a range of scanning and tactile measurement systems ensuring you have the complete setup to generate the most accurate results from your measuring and inspection processes. We also supply height gauges, surface roughness and contour inspection equipment covering all areas of tactile measurement.

Available to purchase directly through Optimax, we stock a range of high-end brands including, Alicona, Mahr, Vision and Optivu. Product demonstrations are also available at our Market Harborough laboratory, giving you extra peace of mind that our tactile metrology systems measure up to your standards.
