Description
The Taylor Hobson Form Talysurf® PGI Optics is the industry-standard solution for the precise measurement of aspheric and diffractive optics. Since its introduction in 1984, it has become the benchmark system for global optics manufacturers, delivering unmatched form accuracy, repeatability, and measurement reliability.
Powered by Taylor Hobson’s patented PGI technology, the system enables the measurement of large sags using short-length styli, combining high stiffness with low force for superior accuracy and reproducibility compared to conventional systems. With a gauge range of up to 28 mm, noise levels below 2 nm Rq, and form error measurement capability of less than 100 nm on optics up to 300 mm in diameter, it is ideally suited for demanding next-generation applications.
The advanced software interface makes programming and analysis simple, with automated cresting, spike removal, and radius optimization ensuring traceable, repeatable results. Additional tools such as sag and slope calculators, reverse engineering functions, and feedback algorithms streamline manufacturing processes, reduce costs, and improve yields.
Designed for versatility, the Form Talysurf® PGI Optics is available in multiple instrument sizes and software packages, making it the complete metrology solution for modern optics manufacturing and research.
