Mechanical Industries
Mechanical industries — automotive, aerospace, tooling, subcontracting — demand precise control of surface texture and dimensional tolerances to ensure part performance and longevity. Altimet provides optical measurement solutions adapted to industrial production environments, from laboratory analysis to inline inspection.
Surface and Dimensional Metrology for Mechanical Industries
Precision mechanical parts require rigorous inspection at every stage of the manufacturing cycle. Whether validating a surface finish after machining, characterizing a functional texture, or verifying the geometric conformity of a component, Altimet provides optical measurement instruments capable of meeting the demands of the mechanical industry.
Surface Roughness Parameters
Roughness control is a key step in validating machined parts. AltiSurf© instruments measure the full set of standardized parameters (Ra, Rz, Rq, Rt…) in accordance with ISO standards, on flat, cylindrical or complex geometries — without contact and without damaging the part.
Functional Surface Texturing
Some mechanical applications require surfaces with controlled texture — to promote lubricant retention, improve adhesion, or optimize sliding behavior. Altimet enables precise characterization of these functional textures, in both 2D and 3D, with resolution suited to tribological requirements.
Dimensional Measurement of Complex Parts
Verifying dimensions and geometries on multi-face or freeform parts requires tools that combine precision and flexibility. Altimet solutions enable non-contact dimensional measurement of a wide range of components: optical elements, housings, and assembly parts.
Multi-Directional Flatness
Evaluating flatness in multiple directions is a recurring need when inspecting bearing surfaces, seals, or guiding components. Altimet offers multi-directional flatness measurements capable of detecting form defects with high repeatability.
