FlatMaster MSP - Faster Measurement Tool for Manufacturing Engineer
Final Decision Maker: Quality Manager, Production Manager, Manufacturing Engineer, Manufacting Manager

Use the highly accurate FlatMaster MSP to measure flatness,parallelism, thickness, height, angles, hole and feature location of tightly toleranced parts on your manufacturing floor. Go beyond CMM technology with the FlatMaster MSP as it measures the full surface of your part in one 3 second measurement.  It's like a million tiny probes measuring critical part features in a fraction of the time.  This unique invention uses non-contact, laser based frequency scanning interferometry to measure multiple surfaces at the same time.

The system enables production managers to control quality of more products in less time; resulting in higher quality parts, improved yield and less cost to market.
