APDIS MV430 Laser Radar
APDIS is the new generation of the Nikon Laser Radar. It introduces a new design with new benefits, whilst maintaining the inherent features that make the Laser Radar a truly unique metrology system.
The MV430 and MV450 measurement systems are used for fast, automated and non-contact inspection of objects ranging from smaller components such as a car door to complete large assemblies such as commercial aircraft. It achieves this through a unique application of a non-contact, accurate laser based measurement technology overcoming the limitations of traditional monolithic or portable metrology systems.
The ability to measure detail at distance, without the need for handheld probes, targets or surface preparation means APDIS is ideally suited for repetitive, complex, hard to reach, delicate and labor intensive inspection tasks, covering a huge range of manufacturing, industry and research applications.

Measure Parts in Situ at High Accuracy
Portable and shop floor suitable, with a large measurement volume allows absolute and accurate measurements of parts in the production line. Portable and mobile configurations allow for deployment flexibility, whilst a specific integration configuration is ideal for fully automated solutions.
- Measure up to 50m radius
- IP54 rated for shop floor installations
- Typical accuracy of 29µm @ 2m
- Surface or feature measurements
- Portable, mobile and integration configurations
- Large working temperature range
Measure More for Improved Productivity
A precision laser beam allows for fast feature measurements with minimal data sets. The Enhanced variant offers up to double the measurement speed versus the standard version further improving productivity versus traditional metrology equipment.
- Enhanced Feature Scan
- Precision feature measurements
- 8 x faster than traditional monolithic devices
Measure Almost any Surface with No Part Preparation
Utilising Heterodyne Interferometry allows the Laser Radar to measure almost any surface without the need for part preparation, targets or feature adapters. Coupled with an improved warm up time, this means fast setup with no part interaction required. The large standoff also means that potential damage to the part, or operator, is minimized.
- Heterodyne interferometry
- No targets, no adapters, no probes
- Fast warm up (15 minutes)
- Large standoff
Measure Fully Automatically for Consistent Results
The ability of APDIS to run fully automated measurements reduces the labor requirements whilst maintaining consistency and repeatability independent of the operator.
- Non-contact automated measurements
- Single or zero user operation
- Deskill complex metrology inspections
