IMTS 2024 in Chicago brought together industry leaders, innovators, and customers from around the world to showcase the latest advancements in manufacturing technology. One standout highlight of the event was Zygo’s cutting-edge optical profiling technology, presented by Michael Schmid, Senior Product Development Manager for Zygo’s optical profiler team.
During the event, Schmid introduced Zygo’s flagship non-contact optical profiler, the NX2, which represents the culmination of 55 years of expertise in non-contact optical metrology. The NX2 optical profiler is designed for precision measurements and is highly regarded for its vertical precision, making it a vital tool for customers in both production environments and clean rooms.
Schmid emphasized the importance of using high-quality vibration isolation systems, such as the ones provided by Bilz isolators, in achieving optimal performance. These isolators play a crucial role in separating the cabinet from the floor and minimizing external vibrations that can affect the profiler’s accuracy.
“We rely on Bilz isolators to separate the cabinet from the floor and ensure the highest vertical precision and reliability for our customers,” Schmid explained. “This is especially important in production floors and clean rooms, where environmental factors can significantly impact the precision of measurements.”
By incorporating advanced isolation technology, Zygo is able to provide unparalleled precision and reliability, ensuring that their customers achieve consistent, high-quality results.
Beyond showcasing groundbreaking technology, IMTS provided an invaluable opportunity for Schmid and the Zygo team to connect with suppliers and customers, both old and new. When asked about his favorite part of the event, Schmid shared that it was the chance to meet with these key stakeholders.
“It’s always great to catch up with everyone, meet with our suppliers, and connect with both future and present customers,” Schmid said. “IMTS is one of the best events for discovering what’s new and staying on top of the latest trends in the industry.”
As the demand for precise measurement and inspection tools continues to grow, Zygo’s NX2 non-contact optical profiler is well-positioned to meet the needs of modern manufacturing environments. With its emphasis on precision, reliability, and cutting-edge isolation technology, the NX2 sets a new standard for optical profiling systems.
For those who couldn’t attend IMTS 2024, Zygo’s advancements in non-contact optical metrology highlight the ongoing innovation in the industry and the importance of reliable, high-performance equipment in achieving excellence in manufacturing.
