MountainsMap® Form & Vision is the best in class analysis solution for form measuring instruments
- Entry level solution with a wide range of incremental optional modules for advanced applications.
- Analyzes measurement data in accordance with the latest standards and methods.
- Straightforward upgrade path to MountainsMap® Universal if you add a new type of instrument to your instrument.
Real time high quality 3D imaging
- View 3D surface topography in 24-bit colors, manipulate it in real time, apply different renderings and palettes, make movies of surface flyovers, etc.
- User powerful filters remove anomalies, carry out smoothing, etc.
Increase vertical range virtually
- Increase vertical range by manually patching together overlapping measurements on the vertical axis.
Comparison with reference form
- Subtract sphere, cylinder, LS-plane, or LS-polynomial - see the result in 3D and calculate corresponding amplitude.
Calculation of form parameters
- ISO 12781 flatness parameters, ISO 12780 straightness parameters, ISO 12181 roundness parameters.
Basic analysis of surface texture and geometry
- Calculation of distances, angles, areas, volumes and step heights.
- Basic functional studies including bearing ratio curve, depth distribution histogram, surface subtraction and more.
The most popular 2D and 3D roughness parameters and more
- Calculate 3D height and bearing ratio parameters defined in the new ISO 25178 standard and EUR 15178 (Surfstand), ISO 4287 2D primary and roughness parameters, BSI, DIN, JIS, NF, UNE and UNI equivalents of ISO parameters, together with and ASME B46.1 3D parameters.
Analyze sub-surfaces too
- Use segmentation or thresholding to extract a sub-surface – for example a disk fixture ring, contact zone, MEMS layer or valley region - and analyze it independently, calculating parameters (e.g. flatness) for the sub-surface only.
Fast surface metrology report creation
- The highly intuitive desktop publishing environment (in seven European languages, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese and Korean) includes a page viewer for fast navigation, an analysis workflow for full metrological traceability and pass/fail traffic lights.
- Series of measurements can be analyzed automatically using templates and common sequences of analysis steps can be saved in a library for insertion in future reports.
- Data export (Excel .csv, text, bitmap, PDF).
