Measurement Range:
|
ROC (mm): 1 to flat Apex offset (μm): 0 to 2000 Fiber height* (μm): more than 1000** Angles measurements - full range (degrees): 0 to 28*** * Difference from the highest and lowest points of the scanned object. **<100 µm available by default. >100 µm - for special connectors/tasks (software adjustment required). *** Regular fixtures - 0, 8, 9 degrees. Customized fixtures - 0 -28 degrees. |
