Absolute World-First with V-SPOT Technology

Precisely capture real and virtual confocal points

The 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 assemblies

Multiple 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 process

The 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 documented

The 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.
