TUCSON, Arizona--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ: BRKR) announced today the NPFLEX-LA™, the first non-contact, three-dimensional surface metrology system to provide quantitative lead angle and surface texture measurements for the control and reduction of fluid leakage of rotary dynamic sealing surfaces. The NPFLEX-LA combines the intrinsic benefits of Bruker’s gage-capable, interferometry-based 3D optical profiling technology with new patent-pending metrology capabilities to quantifiably measure both shaft lead angle and surface texture of sealing surfaces in a single, integrated solution. Designed to perform extremely accurate metrology independent of part warp, level, concentricity or mounting inconsistencies, the NPFLEX-LA also features a streamlined production user interface that enables rapid setup and easily set pass/fail criteria to identify and/or discard nicks, burrs, and scratches from a measured surface area on a machined shaft.
