NON-CONTACT CMMTM systems
NOVACAMTM non-contact CMMTM (Coordinate measuring machine) systems offer superior performance both in the laboratory and on the production floor. They provide:
- High precision measurements (better than 1 µm)
- High-speed acquisition (2,100 to 100,000 3D point measurements per second)
- Simultaneous dimensional and surface inspection
- Small non-contact fiber-based probes (as small as 0.5 mm in diameter) for reaching inside tight spaces
- Automation by teaching with joystick
The CMMs are equipped with robust and compact fiber based probes, and can therefore easily inspect inside tight spaces and even in hostile environments. The CMMs are configured in size, speed and scanning capabilities for the user’s needs and offer online integration capability, small footprint and true portability. Depending on the workpiece, ultra-portable CMM inspection stations weighing 20 lbs (10 kg) are available.

Intuitive user interface
First-time users of NOVACAM CMM systems feel comfortable with the intuitive user interface of our advanced metrology software. With a control device (joystick), it is very easy to start a measurement of objects of all levels of complexities. Experienced users appreciate features such as laser pointing and audio feedback which emulate the touch and feel of a conventional CMM.
Applications
The NOVACAM CMM system product line is made to adapt to any workpiece, regardless of surface properties. Thanks to the underlying technology, low-coherence interferometry, users can measure any type of material – transparent or opaque, specular, diffusive, polished, rough – with ease. Applications include: deviation maps from CAD, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), flatness, surface profile, roughness, thickness, volume loss, parallelism, perpendicularity, profile of a line, angularity, circularity, straightness, symmetry, cylindricity, datum qualification, circular runout, vibration.
Option to combine multiple inspection stations
One single NOVACAM CMM system can serve multiple CNC or CMM stations. Optimal scan paths can be achieved by integration of NOVACAM and 3rd party software.
Advantage of the NOVACAM CMM
Micron-level measurement precision, speed, facility for acquiring 3D measurements right on manufacture lines, and significantly lower price than traditional contact CMMs, are but some of the reasons why clients choose NOVACAM non-contact CMM systems for their applications.

Associated products
NOVACAM CMMs use MICROCAM-3D/4D interferometers to provide the light source to the scanning probe and to processes the optical signal received from the probe. The probe and the interferometer are connected with an optical fiber.
