The Pinnacle 250 offers the highest accuracy and fastest speeds of the VIEW Micro-Metrology line. Its high performance and compact footprint make it VIEW Micro-Metrology’s most popular model.

The Pinnacle features a damped granite base and column, with passive vibration isolation. A precision compound X-Y stage with high-speed linear motor drives provides velocity of 400 mm / sec and acceleration of 1000 mm / sec². This combination of high acceleration and high velocity enables the high throughput required for near-line process monitoring. The rugged and compact design of the Pinnacle lends itself to installation in either a Q/A lab or at an inspection station in the manufacturing line.

The Pinnacle is ideal for measurement of small, close tolerance parts, particularly parts with a high density of features, such as hard disk drive suspensions, printer heads, precision stampings, leadframes, ball-grid arrays, and chip scale packages.

The Pinnacle can be equipped with an optional through-the-lens or offset mounted laser for added flexibility in Z-axis measurements. Pinnacle models can also utilize the optional SpectraProbe™ offering sub-micron Z-axis measurement resolution.

The Pinnacle operates with one or more of VIEW Micro-Metrology’s standard metrology software packages:

• VIEW Metrology Software (VMS™) which offers a wide array of standard measurement tools as well as a built-in scripting language to enable custom-functions.
• Elements® CAD-to-Measure software provides automatic translation of 2-D CAD files in measurement programs, enabling very fast set-up of measurement routines for even the most complex parts.
