SCM – Centering Measuring Device for Spherical Lenses
Precise centering measurement for spheres and optical systemsThe SCM (Spherical Centering Measuring Device) from HOFBAUER Optics was specifically designed for high-precision measurement of spherical lens surfaces. By combining automatic focusing, intelligent software, and flexible module adaptation, the SCM is the ideal solution for efficient quality control in production and development.
Absolute World-First with V-SPOT Technology
Precisely capture real and virtual confocal pointsThe SCM uses V-SPOT technology for the exact determination of real and virtual measuring points. This measurement method ensures reliable results with maximum repeatability – even with complex optical systems.
Multi SPOT for parallel surface measurement
Increased efficiency with system lenses and assembliesMultiple surfaces can be captured simultaneously, significantly reducing testing and blocking times. Ideal for mass production and complex optical systems with multiple spherical lenses.

High Accuracy in Manufacturing Environments
Robust measurement technology for precise results in the production processThe SCM delivers reproducible results even under real production conditions. Its compact design and process-safe interfaces make it easy to integrate into existing production lines.

Intuitive Operation with ELWISOFT Touch Software
Simply measurable – quickly documentedThe touch-based ELWISOFT software provides all the functions for automated probing, centering error detection, and evaluation. Its simple operation reduces training effort and ensures fast measurement results.
