QDS Deflectometer
Deflectometer for Spots
The QDS is a compact metrology workstation for accurate and cost-effective measurement of Magnetorheological Finishing(MRF®) spots in a shop-floor environment.
Designed Specifically for MRF Users
The QDS system delivers fast, accurate measurement of polishing spots without requiring complex setup or calibration. Its upward-looking measurement configuration simplifies part handling and increases repeatability, while the high-resolution imaging system ensures precise capture of spot geometry across a wide range of surface shapes and materials.
Streamlined Spot Analysis for Faster Decision-Making
With built-in networking and automated data transfer between the QDS and MRF platforms, measurement results can be reviewed and acted on immediately, enabling rapid feedback loops and efficient process refinement. Its compact design and environmental stability make it ideal for use directly on the production floor, where speed and confidence in measurement are critical.
The QDS Advantage
Sits next to your Q-flex machine to save time and increase throughput
Measures smaller and deeper spots with its higher slope capture range
Ensures adequate pixel density on even the smallest spots with its high resolution
Quick, simple, reproducible part setup due to its upward looking system with purpose-built part mounting
Measures parts of different reflectivity without use of auxiliary components like pellicles
Provides a networked solution to initiate measurements from Q-flex and automatically load data from QDS
Insensitive to environmental factors such as vibration or air turbulence
Includes integrated QED.NET software for consistent workflow and intuitive operation
Seamless Software Integration
Seamless integration with QED.NET enables operators to initiate measurements directly from the polishing machine and automatically load data into the QDS for analysis—reducing time between steps and maximizing throughput. Built for reliability on the shop floor, QDS is engineered to deliver consistent, high-quality results even in environments with vibration or air movement.
