Energy and Industrial Manufacturing —
from Lab to Fab

Due to their inherent ability to provide a wide range of measurements, our surface metrology tools are employed in diverse industrial applications. Machines and systems should run at full capacity, around the clock and, if possible, without errors or even breakdowns. Collected data about product quality during production can be passed on to other information systems in the company, where it can be analyzed and used to make informed decisions about manufacturing strategies.

FormFactor’s FRT measuring devices support manufacturers in optimizing their production processes and to increase efficiency.

In the automotive industry, manufacturers use automated metrology to measure many different surfaces and include the created surface data into their production management systems. Decisions about on-going production, to ensure productivity is maintained, can thus be improved by real-time data intelligence.

In medical technology, durability and safety are paramount. Measurements are used to ensure uniformity and dimensional accuracy to ensure precise manufacturing of component features, such as the flatness or roughness of a microplate or Petri dish, packaging features of pharmaceuticals to ensure authenticity, the layer thickness of test strips, the geometry of syringe needles, the uniformity of stents and many other measurements of similar technology.

Metrology tools are also used to ensure the surface quality of optical lenses and can be employed in production engineering of a large variety of industrial manufacturing applications.
