Fast 3D Surface Maps
The new Bruker Contour LS-K is a 3D optical profiler with LightSpeed focus variation technology. You can now generate 3D surface maps at speeds impossible with other methods, using new optimised focusing and advanced algorithms. Data-rich images are displayed in seconds, at high resolution and in real colour.
Acquire high-resolution images easily, along with reliable metrology data. Surface data is captured quickly with an unmatched field of view, with vertical scanning speeds up to 5 mm per second. Perform quantitative metrology with access to the raw measurement data (not available with alternative systems). Comprehensive software is provided for in-depth analysis.
What Can You Measure?
This new LightSpeed focus variation method is ideal for:
- Rough surfaces
- Large step heights
- Steep angles
It is an ideal partner for Bruker’s ContourGT white light interferometers, which are designed for smoother surfaces and nanometre resolution.
Applications include mechanical testing, QA/QC inspection, process control and R&D for engineering and metrology in these markets:
- Automotives
- Precision machining
- Manufacturing
- Electronics
- Medical devices

Bruker Contour LS-K
The Bruker Contour LS-K 3D optical profiler collects surface data without touching the sample or part. It has been designed with a strong focus on rapid data acquisition.
A variety of features are included as standard to make it a truly gold-standard metrology system:
- Automated X-Y stages
- Motorised 5-position objective turret
- Dual lighting (coaxial and ring light)
- New, proprietary algorithms for data processing, analysis and visualisation
