FocalSpec Announces the Introduction of
UULA, a New High-Speed Table-Top 3D
Line Confocal Scanner for High-Resolution
QC and R&D Surface Imaging and
Metrology Applications
FocalSpec, Inc., a supplier of 3D line confocal sensors
and systems for challenging surface imaging applications,
is pleased to introduce their new general-purpose 3D
metrology tool for offline and at-line uses, the FocalSpec
3D Line Confocal Scanner UULA.
UULA is based on FocalSpec’s patented Line
Confocal Imaging technology that enables high-
speed 3D imaging of surfaces that are difficult
or impossible to measure with other currently
available methods. With UULA, parts and
assemblies having highly reflective, mirror-like,
transparent, curved and sloping surfaces can
be scanned in seconds at sub-micron resolution. benefit from the high speed and accuracy of this
automated, recipe-based tool. Applications include
imaging of 3D form and dimensions; surface
roughness and texture; etched, embossed and
printed 3D features; flatness and thickness; mold
parting line flash and burr; dispensed adhesive,
polymer and fluid shape and volume; and heat seal
integrity.
Quality control, failure analysis, and research &
development of products containing polymers,
metals, glass, composites or other materials greatly “UULA’s unique line confocal method combines
the speed of laser sensors with the resolution
and tolerance for surface material and angle of
