Modifying material distribution on functional surfaces in a controlled manner
Products’ performance can be modified and requirements optimized accordingly by characterizing material distribution on functional surfaces. With white-light interferometers from the TopMap series, you can capture such surfaces quickly and precisely – no matter whether you’re working in your metrology lab or in the production environment.

Friction, roughness and relative component movement
In some applications, increased friction brought about by distributing diamond particles on one surface can help to prevent the undesirable relative movement of touching surfaces. The desired level of friction is achieved by modifying the particle size, shape and quantity.
