Based on the brand proposition “Your bridge to a brighter future”, Zygo’s rebrand…
Zygo launches Compass 2 with Diamond Turning Machine integration capability
Zygo Corporation (a division of AMETEK)announced the release of Compass 2, its latest optical profiler with Diamond Turning Machine (DTM) optimization and freeform surface metrology capability. Unlike comparable solutions, mold pins remain on their manufacturing fixture during metrology―shortening the time to data processing and minimizing uncertainty from remounting and re-aligning the sample. With new interface […]

How precision metrology is putting electric vehicles in gear
Not only are electric vehicles (EVs) more prevalent on the roads, but many automotive companies are announcing plans for EVs to dominate their product portfolios. As the shift from internal combustion (IC) to electric continues, the number of drivetrain components will dramatically lessen. So how does that impact the gear components necessary to convert the…
Metrology for micro molding — a case study
Accumold operates in an environment where part dimensions are sometimes minute, tolerances are always exacting, geometric complexity can be demanding, and zero failure rates and repeatability are paramount. The key to reaching sub-micron tolerances is risk mitigation, as each step in the product development process can potentially introduce tolerance stack-up. Control requires that Accumold is…
Zygo Corp. introduces miniature optical position sensor for high-precision applications
