Equipment

CNC machine

MiniMill 2

A CNC auto mill capable of precision to the micron. Utilized in both polishing and manufacturing lab equipment.


Optical profiler

ZYGO NEWVIEW 9000 OPTICAL PROFILOMETER

A scanning white light interferometer that is capable of sub-nanometer vertical resolution at various measuring areas based on objectives. Larger areas are capable of being measured through automatic image stitching by utilizing the precision stage.


Roughness tester, stylus.

MITUTOYO  SURFTEST SJ-400 DIAMOND STYLUS PROFILOMETER

This profilometer is capable of measuring 2-D surface profiles.


Digital microscope.

NIKON SHUTTLEPIX P 400R DIGITAL MICROSCOPE

Our digital microscope allows us to image work pieces at up to 20x zoom.


Gaussmeter

SYPRIS MODEL 6010 HALL EFFECT GAUSSMETER

Our gaussmeter is used to measure the magnetic magnetic forces between the pole tip and work piece. This allow us to directly control finishing forces and tailor our machines.


Infarared thermometer.

FLUKE 561 INFRARED AND CONTACT THERMOMETER

This infrared and contact thermometer is commonly used to measure temperature increases during polishing.


Tachometer.

EXTECH INSTRUMENTS 461895 COMBINATION CONTACT/PHOTO TACHOMETER

MAF utilizes rotation to create relative motion between the work piece and magnetic particles. This tachometer allows us to predict to velocity of our particles by measuring the pole tip’s rotational speed.


Robot arm.

FANUC LR MATE 200IC CONTROLLER

A Fanuc robot arm used for three-dimensional control over work pieces during polishing.
