Features & Benefits

The Formtracer Avant D3000 is capable of making both contour and surface roughness measurements. The two detector heads are easily switched out without turning off the machine. The FTA-D3000 model features a single-sided stylus that is capable of measuring ID and calculate pitch diameters.

  • Hot swapping allows switching between the contour detector and roughness detector without powering the machine off
  • The tool-less replacement mechanism uses a thumb-turn clamp for much faster switching between detectors
  • Stylus drop detection feature detects any sudden drop of the stylus and stops the measurement operation
  • Collision monitoring for the magnet arm and detector cover ensures safe measurements even during high-speed movements
  • Optional accessories for automatic measurement automate processes from the setup to the measurement
