High-quality measuring systems fur unequivocal measurement of form and positonal tolerances
Form measuring instruments from HOMMEL ETAMIC check form and position tolerances of your workpieces – even in tough industrial environments.

Form measurement
We provide you with solutions for a wide range of tasks in form measurement – from the fully automatic CNC measuring station for all form and positional tolerances to combined form and roughness measuring systems to solutions for large and heavy shafts.
Formline solutions achieve high measurement accuracy even in production environments. At the same time, they are easy to operate thanks to user-friendly software and can be adapted to numerous measuring tasks with a wide range of accessories.
Individual form measuring systems for your requirements
For special requirements, we develop measuring systems that are specially tailored to your needs. You benefit from our extensive knowledge in the development of special solutions - for example for brake discs.
Highly efficient solution for form, roughness and twist measurements
Our form measuring systems are equipped with a high-precision rotary table with air bearings and are extremely robust. They are suitable both for measuring tasks in series production and for use in the measuring room with frequently changing measuring tasks.
The systems offer a high degree of automation with automatic workpiece alignment and CNC-controlled measuring axes. With the optional tilt and rotation module, even hard-to-reach probing positions are reached without interrupting the CNC run.
Equipped with an optional double-tipped probe arm, the form measuring systems also perform roughness, waviness and twist measurements – all in one setup.
- Measurement of form, run-out and position tolerances
- Determination of specific characteristics such as conicity, crowning or dominant roundness waviness
- Optional roughness, waviness and twist measurement
- Magnetic probe coupling for fast probe arm changes
- Convertible, double-tipped probe system for form and roughness
