4D Technology is the leader in high-resolution surface, geometry and wavefront measurements for challenging locations and applications.
3D Optical Defect & Roughness Gauges
Problem Statement:
Performing precise, high-resolution measurements of defects and surface roughness directly on the shop floor or in the field—even on large parts and complex geometries—with exceptional accuracy and repeatability.
Technology Solution Statement:
The 4D InSpec uses patented vibration-immune technology to take rapid, repeatable, high-resolution surface measurements in challenging environments where there is vibration. This proprietary technology, referred to as Dynamic Interferometry®, allows for non-contact, 3D metrology to be used on shop floors and in the field for applications such as measuring defects and features on precision machined surfaces.
Benefits Statement:
The 4D InSpec delivers fast, accurate, and repeatable 3D surface measurements right on the shop floor or in the field—eliminating the need for replication or lab-based metrology.
- Increase yield by 20–40% by accurately measuring defects up to specification limits, enabling more parts to pass and reducing unnecessary scrap.
- Instant, non-contact 3D measurements of pits, scratches, nicks, dents, bumps, edge breaks, radii, and other features from 2 μm to 2.5 mm deep.
- Portable and rugged design for use on large parts and complex geometries in challenging environments.
- Micron-level resolution and high repeatability, outperforming visual inspection and tactile methods.
- Easy to use—one-button operation and intuitive touchscreen interface allow non-experts to take precise measurements within minutes.
- Flexible deployment: handheld, workstation, or robotic integration for automated inspection and high throughput.
- Comprehensive analysis and reporting with automatic defect detection, 3D visualization, and seamless data export to quality systems.
