High-Speed Portable Optical Profilometer – NANOVEA JR100

NANOVEA JR100 is a high-speed portable optical profilometer for non-contact surface measurement, designed for fast, accurate inspection of large areas.

Built on the same chromatic light sensor technology used in NANOVEA’s benchtop surface profilometers, the JR100 delivers true lab-quality 2D and 3D surface characterization with continuous scanning, combining speed, throughput, and portability in a single system.

What is the NANOVEA JR100?

The NANOVEA JR100 is a portable high-speed 3D optical profilometer for non-contact measurement of large areas, in the lab or on site. It scans 100 x 100 mm continuously, without stitching, and measures roughness, texture, form, step height, flatness and volume with the chromatic light sensors used in NANOVEA's benchtop profilometers.

The X-Y stage travels 100 x 100 mm at up to 20 mm/s with a 25 mm manual Z axis. Point sensors cover height ranges from 110 µm to 24 mm; the high-speed line sensor measures 192 points at once at 384,000 points per second. At 17 kg, it is transported to the part rather than the other way round.

Two configurations exist: the JR100P with standard point sensors and the JR100L with the high-speed line sensor.

Best for

  • Large-area scans away from the lab, up to 100 x 100 mm in one continuous pass
  • Fast mapping with the high-speed line sensor
  • Quality control at supplier or customer sites
  • Labs that need one profilometer for both bench and field work

JR100: frequently asked questions

What is the JR100 used for?

Non-contact 2D and 3D measurement of roughness, texture, geometry, step height, flatness and volume over areas up to 100 x 100 mm, on site or in the lab.

What is the difference between the JR100P and the JR100L?

The JR100P uses the standard single-point chromatic sensors (PS1 to PS6). The JR100L carries the high-speed line sensor, which measures 192 points at once at 384,000 points per second for much faster large-area maps.

Does the JR100 stitch images?

No. It scans 100 mm continuously, so the whole area is one measurement with the same accuracy everywhere.

How portable is the JR100?

It weighs 17 kg with a 44 x 49 x 32 cm footprint, so it is transported to the part. For the lightest option, see the 5.3 kg JR25.

How accurate is the JR100?

With point sensors, height repeatability runs from 1.9 nm (PS1) to 237.2 nm (PS6); with line sensors, from 14 nm (LS1) to 70 nm (LS3). Maximum vertical resolution is 1 nm and surface angles up to 87° are measured.

How much does a JR100 cost?

Pricing depends on the configuration (JR100P or JR100L) and sensors. Contact NANOVEA sales for a quote.
