GelSight Max 3D Tactile Surface Measurement

GelSight Max allows users to capture high resolution 2D images and 3D digital surface maps in milliseconds. When mounted to a Hexagon Absolute Arm, the Gelsight Max can perform submicron profile and surface roughness, as well as measurement of surface features, such as scratches and pitting, down to the submicron level, and tie the location of those measurements back to a CAD model of the part being measured. GelSight is also a winner in Hexagon's Sixth Sense program.
