In industrial markets like aerospace, aviation, automotive and medical device manufacturing, manufacturers face growing pressure to enhance surface quality while boosting efficiency. Even minor defects can lead to costly rework, part rejection, and safety risks. Precision components demand strict control over diverse parameters. Throughput is also critical, prompting a shift from manual to automated solutions. Rapid, accurate measurement of defects, radii, chamfers, blends and roughness on the shop floor is essential to maintaining quality and production speed. To address these challenges, Onto Innovation’s 4Di technology enables vibration-insensitive, high-resolution 3D measurements anywhere in the factory – either handheld, combined with collaborative robots for high-volume automation or in-situ applications.
