Precision Medical Tubing Measurement with Non-Contact Optical Metrology
Manufacturers of medical tubing rely on high‑precision metrology to ensure products meet strict specifications for wall thickness, inner diameter (ID), and outer diameter (OD). When supporting R&D, quality assurance, or full-scale production, accurate tubing measurement is essential for regulatory compliance, yield optimization, and patient safety.
Lumetrics understands these challenges. The OptiGauge II delivers fast, non‑contact measurement of glass and polymer medical tubing, enabling manufacturers to verify critical dimensions with confidence while maintaining high throughput.
Replace Legacy Methods with Advanced Optical Metrology
By implementing an advanced metrology solution, such as the OptiGauge II, manufacturers can replace older, less accurate methodologies and gain operational efficiencies while reducing inspection-related waste. OptiGauge II features:
-
Improved submicron accuracy and repeatability
-
Minimizes margin for operator error with low-coherence interferometer
-
Measurement of up to 20 layers
-
Automatic calculation of the thickness of individual layers and the total overall thickness
- Top wall, inner diameter, bottom wall, and outer diameter measurements of the balloon or tube
Using this non-contact measurement tool offers lower waste, higher yields, and faster time to market for medical tubing products.
