Pittsburgh, PA and Besançon, France – Jan 30, 2025 — Peak Metrology, automated metrology equipment designer and manufacturer, and Digital Surf, editor of analysis software solutions for profilometry, microscopy and spectroscopy, have announced the release of Peak Metrology Surface Analysis, a profilometry software package powered by Mountains® technology that enables engineers, scientists and metrologists across industries to analyze precision scanned surface data.
The key capabilities of this analysis software include:
- Comprehensive surface characterization: Peak Metrology Surface Analysis analyzes surface geometry, profiles and topography with exceptional precision, supporting measurements from microns to nanometers.
- Versatile sensor compatibility: the software works seamlessly with Peak Metrology scanning equipment and supports data from multiple sensor types including confocal sensors and microscopes, laser profile sensors, interferometers and other non-contact optical measurement devices.
- Automation and replication: users can build recipes and templates that allow for automated surface analysis that minimizes or eliminates the need for operator intervention. Measurements can be performed repeatably and without common error sources that plague operator-driven software packages.
Peak Metrology Surface Analysis software includes a suite of tools allowing the extraction of actionable data from the raw surface measurements generated by the scanning equipment. Main customer applications include:
- Measuring flatness and coplanarity of surfaces.
- Measuring surface geometry such as distances, areas, step heights, angles and volumes.
- Analyzing individual layer thicknesses and total thickness variation (TTV) of surfaces.
- Calculating and evaluating surface roughness and texture.
“Our collaboration with Digital Surf marks a major advancement for our customers,” said RJ Hardt, President of Peak Metrology. “By combining our cutting-edge scanning equipment with Digital Surf’s renowned analysis software, we are delivering a powerful, seamless solution for precision surface analysis that empowers our customers to achieve unmatched accuracy and reliability.”
“Partnering with Peak Metrology has allowed us to extend the reach of our software into new, innovative applications,” said Christophe Mignot, CEO of Digital Surf. “Together, we are providing users with an automated, user-friendly solution that converts raw surface measurements into meaningful results, enabling breakthroughs in research and industrial quality control.”
