Wyko
NT-2000
The WYKO NT-2000 is an optical profiler that gives ultra-precise 3-D analyses of any surface for process control. The NT-2000 is a non-contact surface metrology system that rapidly measures heights from 0.1 nm to several millimeters. The NT-2000 has vertical resolution as low as 0.1 nm and is fully automated with high speed auto focus, auto turret and a computer-controlled stage.[1]
What it is
How it works
Where it fits in the process flow
The Wyko NT-2000 fits in process control and inspection flows where surface measurements are needed during development, quality inspection, failure analysis, and production monitoring.[1]
The Wyko NT-2000 supports rapid, in-line production measurements and also has non-automated versions for research and development applications.[1]
Applications
The Wyko NT-2000 measures advanced materials, automotive parts, glass and ceramics, machined metal, micro-machined devices, paper, film, foil, printing plates, rolls, semiconductors, wet and dry thick film resistors, and printed circuit boards.[1]
The Wyko NT-2000 measures surface roughness and surface area on ceramics, glass, metal, paper, film, and foil.[2]
