Optical Metrology in Manufacturing: Accuracy Beyond Microns - VIEW
In the modern world of precision manufacturing, even a microscopic deviation can mean the difference between a functional product and a defective one. As industries like semiconductors, electronics, and medical devices move toward miniaturization and tighter tolerances, the need for optical metrology has become indispensable. This advanced, non-contact measurement technology allows manufacturers to capture highly accurate data — often beyond the micron level — ensuring every component meets the strictest quality standards. Understanding Optical Metrology Optical metrology is the science of measuring physical dimensions using light-based technologies rather than mechanical probes. Unlike traditional contact methods, it uses lasers, cameras, and advanced sensors to capture precise data without touching the surface. This approach eliminates deformation, improves repeatability, and significantly reduces measurement time. Manufacturers use optical measurement machines to analy...
