Bruker Alicona's New Shop Floor Enclosure Ensures Accurate Measurements in Harsh Environments
The Austrian measurement technology manufacturer Bruker Alicona is taking a further step to facilitate quality assurance in production: Introducing the Shopfloor Enclosure for FocusX, an excellent solution for achieving the highest precision and reliability directly on the shopfloor. After its pre-announcement in January 2024, the FocusX Shopfloor Enclosure is now available, offering unparalleled protection and precision to meet the demanding needs of modern production environments.
The Shopfloor Enclosure is meticulously engineered to protect the FocusX from environmental factors such as airborne particles, dust, and spray water or oil. This robust enclosure ensures that the FocusX can operate at peak performance even in the most demanding conditions.
The FocusX is a groundbreaking device transforming quality assurance with its Advanced Focus-Variation technology in a smart package.
This technology enables precise measurement of micro-geometries and surface roughness on smooth and reflective surfaces using a single sensor. The FocusX is designed to be compact and versatile, making it ideal for on-site use in production environments.

Its adaptability is further enhanced by the Real3DUnitX, which provides five-axis capability, ensuring every surface of your component is accessible and measurable. With the Real3DUnitX, a connectable rotation and tilting unit, the FocusX can perform 360° measurements, allowing for thorough inspections using CAD files for comparison. This upgrade is particularly valuable for analyzing complex geometries that were previously difficult to measure. The Real3DUnitX enhances the versatility of the FocusX, making it an indispensable tool for various industries, including cutting tools, electronics quality control, and medical technology.
The housing that can withstand your production impacts
The Shopfloor Enclosure features an integrated workstation equipped with two monitors, a keyboard, and a mouse holder, providing a complete setup for operators. The enclosure's main switch controls the entire power supply, allowing the system to be easily turned on or off with a single switch. This feature simplifies the operation and ensures that the FocusX is always ready for use.
Thermal management is a critical aspect of the Shopfloor Enclosure. It features two separate chambers that thermally isolate the system from the control server. Each chamber is equipped with two fans, ensuring optimal air flow and preventing overheating.
The enclosure's robust construction and high-quality materials make it a durable and reliable solution for any production facility.
