Surface Finish & Form Measurement Optical Profilometers

Taylor Hobson’s Form Talysurf PGI optical measuring instruments are stylus optical profilometers, it delivers surface finish and form measurement of plastic lenses, spheres, aspheres, freeforms, IR glass & crystals and diffractives up to 300 mm in diameter. Our patented PGI (Phase Grating Interferometer) technology enables you to measure large sags with short length styli for the highest accuracy measurements. We designed PGI optical profilometers with powerful aspheric analysis software tools to improve your capacity and capability. 

High performance Taylor Hobson Contact Optical Measurement Instruments are:  Form Talysurf  PGI Freeform, Form Talysurf  PGI Matrix and F orm Talysurf  PGI Optics

Form Talysurf PGI Optics Following its first release in 1984, the Form Talysurf quickly became the number one tool for optics manufactures in measuring aspheric form error. Since then, we have installed thousands across the globe becoming a true industry standard. Our patented PGI (Phase Grating Interferometer) technology enables you to measure large sags with short length styli. This enables us to combine very high stiffness and low force offering much greater accuracy and repeatability than our competitors. The Form Talysurf PGI Optics offers premium optics metrology packages designed to optimise performance and enhance your manufacturing capability. We offer a large range of instrument sizes and software packages to optimise your measurement needs as well as your budget New software! Easy-to-use interface increases productivity New wide range gauge! Measurement of large sag lenses without compromise
