Meticulously, the Flatness measurement tool is used to evaluate the flatness for unevenness in the surface. In this article, we are going to describe different tools used for measuring flatness.

Single and double-sided optical flats

To determine a substrate’s flatness, optical flats are used. Light bands are created when a high-quality optical flat is put on top of a polished substrate and utilized with a monochromatic light source. The number of straight or ring lines specifies how flat the component is.

Kemet Optical Flats are made of quartz and are accessible in single and double-sided, 1/4 light band precision, diameters ranging from 25mm to 600mmr. Big sizes are generated to order in a variety of shapes, including rectangle optical flats, bespoke optical flat thickness, doughnut optical flats, and square optical flats. They come with a Conformity Certificate that is fully verifiable to international standards. Special optical flats are only made on request.

Kemet provides a scaling service to lambda/20 using 4″ and 12″ interferometers required to evaluate the flatness of the optical flat and generate scaling results.

Cleaning Kit for Optical Flats

It is also critical to maintain optical flats with Kemet’s Optical Flat Cleaning Kit since doing so will assure extended service and precision. It is pivotal to make use of these kits for the maintenance of your flat measuring tools. These care kits are available on different sites from where you buy the measurement tools.

Laser alignment is a tool used to do measurements via two sensors installed on the linked shafts. However, some of the laser systems also measure parallelism, flatness, and straightness.

Flatness Gauges

A dial indicator-type tool used to measure the flatness of a lapping plate is called the flatness gauge. It comprises a gauge body with one vertically adjustable foot on one end and two contact feet on the other.

The K<UNK> Flatness Gauge is used to monitor the flatness of a lapping plate and predict the flatness the plate will generate on a particular component size. The gauge comes packaged in a contoured box with instructions with a standardized single-sided original setting piece.

Monochromatic Light Source

When used in conjunction with Kemet Optical Flats, it produces unambiguous flatness measurements. The Light’s small form uses a sodium long-life sodium light source and makes it portable. A flatness reading interpretation chart is included. With bench supports to handle big optical flats, Kemet provides monochromatic lights.
