Industry-Diven Solutions
ContourX-1000's unique combination of advanced hardware and software integrations enable highly precise, gage-capable, quantitative 3D surface characterization for a great variety of surfaces across a wide range of applications and industries -- including critical dimension metrology and many more.
Bruker's Vision64 Instrument Control and Analysis
ContourX-1000 is powered by Vision64® software, the industry’s most functional and user-friendly graphical user interface. This full-featured software includes:
Advanced Find Surface
The Advanced Find Surface feature enables any user to obtain quality results regardless of operator experience level, even in multi-user environments.
It not only enables auto-focus, but also adjusts key illumination parameters such as the intensity of the LED ring light. This allows uncompromised metrology on varied material surfaces with improved user experience, extreme operator ease, and faster time-to-result.
VisionXpress
Between the easy-to-use VisionXpress™ interface with its standard test library for multi-user environments, the award-winning full-featured Vision64 interface for advanced setup and automated analysis, and the Advanced Production interface for ultimate automation with minimal user intervention, you can select the most suitable solution for your unique metrology needs, without compromise. This unique capability enables uncompromised metrology on any surface, with increased throughput.
Universal Scanning Interferometry
The adaptive surface intelligence of USI mode automatically adjusts algorithm parameters for optimum results on different surface textures in the same field of view, even on surfaces with differing contrast, intensity, and heights. This ability to automatically sense the type of surface and provide the most accurate areal metrology makes it one of the easiest and most robust measurement methods for almost any surface, transparent to opaque, with a vertical range up to 120 µm.
