Led by RJ Hardt, a long-time Aerotech engineer, Peak Metrology draws on Aerotech’s extensive positioning systems expertise, but focuses exclusively on supporting industrial customers with surface metrology solutions through to complete integration.
"The market for digital microscopes is booming. However, in areas such as semiconductor manufacturing, precision manufacturing, electronics, aerospace or medical technology, they quickly reach their limits," emphasises RJ Hardt, President at Peak Metrology. "We want to support our customers in measuring larger parts in the best possible way – that is one of our top company goals. By partnering with IDC, we are able to deliver a fully integrated product. The bundled know-how and the operator software of our partner IDC finally bring our solution over the finish line."
Strong expertise on both sides
Peak Metrology develops and manufactures standard and special equipment for surface and precision measurement processes. For surface metrology applications, Peak Metrology offers a wide range of products up to turnkey machines.
The Swiss company IDC specialises in the fields of automated microscopy, optical inspection, software development and precision mechanical engineering. The 25 years of experience in the semiconductor and microelectronics industry, as well as medical technology, that IDC management has is the basis for the successful implementation of all projects.
"Through our proven software interface, on the one hand we can replicate functions of digital microscopes, but on the other hand we can also add useful functions that did not exist before," said Thorleif Brandsberg, Managing Director at IDC MicroInspection. "By combining our products with a well-known equipment manufacturer, we will help even more users solve their precision inspection challenges in the future."
