What is Vertical Focus Probing?

Fast contactless measurement of surfaces with a slope of more than 90′

Geometries such as bore holes of injection valves in the automotive industry have been traditionally difficult to measure optically. Usually limited to tactile measuring systems, CT or complex customized solutions. Vertical Focus Probing changes this and makes possible optical probing and measurement of the entire surface of components as standard
