Form Talysurf® PGI Optics PRO - Taylor Hobson
Optics Surface Form & Radius Measurement Equipment
The Form Talysurf® PGI Optics PRO contact profilometer, measures surface form & radius of optical components, from a large diameter lens with large SAG to small plastic lenses.
Producing high accuracy measurements on spherical, aspherical, diffractive and fresnel lenses up to 300 mm diameter (single trace, no stitching). The system is capable of measuring both IR (infrared), visible substrates and mirror optics.
These capabilities make the Form Talysurf® PGI Optics PRO the backbone of optical manufacturing.
A fast, high accuracy measurement system for precision optics.
Following its first release in 1984, the Form Talysurf® quickly became the number one choice for optics manufacturers measuring aspheric form error. Since then, we have installed thousands across the world, making the Form Talysurf® PGI a true industry standard.
Our patented PGI (Phase Grating Interferometer) technology enables you to measure large sags with short length styli for the highest accuracy measurements. These Taylor Hobson manufactured styli combine very high stiffness and low force, which delivers much greater accuracy and repeatability than comparable products.
Increase automation and consistency of the Form Talysurf® PGI Optics PRO with the addition of motorised Y and/or Rotary stages, coupled with a precision tilt and centre stage.
