ABS flatness tester

This eqipment offers high-speed measurement of the surfacing side (ABS side) form, which bears super low flying and stabilization of the amount of surfacing of the magnetic head which is one element of high-density record of a hard disk.

Characteristic

  • High-speed measurment : 3 sec/slider
  • High-precision measurement : Repetition accuracy 0.1nm(σ)
  • Continuas automatic measurement of many works : Possible to measure continuosly the works of the unstable posture on a slider case.
  • Low price (about a half of our conventional product.)
  • Total inspection of the flatness measurement is attained, which was not able to carry out because of the problem of a tact time / cost.

Measurement processing example

The surfacing side of a magnetic head is imaged, surface height is extracted from the image picture, its curve quantity is calculated by secondary curved surface approximation.
