(Peak Metrology: Pittsburgh) -- Peak Metrology, a surface metrology capital equipment manufacturer, has announced a partnership with IDC MicroInspection, combining the equipment and hardware capabilities of Peak with the process knowledge and application software of IDC.

Now, digital microscope customers benefit from new capabilities, such as larger measuring volumes and increased image acquisition automation. Most notably, reliable positioning machines are now available with scan automation control software for seamless integration of Keyence VHX digital microscopes. 

“There was an impasse for customers trying to get the most out of their digital microscopes. This partnership with IDC solves that challenge and enables us to deliver a fully integrated product,” says R.J. Hardt, Peak Metrology’s president. “It is important for us to help customers navigate the challenges of measuring larger parts as this is core to our company’s purpose. IDC’s expertise and application software is what takes our solution across the finish line.”

Peak Metrology offers capital equipment for precision metrology processes. IDC offers process knowledge and application software for a variety of industries.

“Our proven software interface allows us to replicate useful features of digital microscopes while adding capabilities that previously did not exist,” says Thorleif Brandsberg, IDC general manager. “Now we are pairing our products with a well-known equipment manufacturer to help more customers solve their precision inspection challenges.”
