Capture Contour and Roughness in One Quick Trace
The new Mitutoyo FORMTRACER Avant H-3000 turns what used to be a two-step, multi-setup chore into a single, streamlined operation. Its hybrid H-3000 detector records full contour and surface-roughness data simultaneously, leveraging a wide 16 mm Z-range, high-resolution arc scale, and a cable-free ±45° inclinable drive unit to handle complex, multi-angled parts without refixturing.
One Trace. Complete Data. No Refixturing.
The Formtracer Avant
Speed & Operability Like Never Before
H-3000 Drop-In Upgrade: Hybrid Precision, Zero Downtime
The new Mitutoyo H-3000 Detector can be mounted to other Mitutoyo FTA series equipment you already have to provide contour and roughness measurements without having to purchase and install an entirely new system. Like other Mitutoyo FTA series of form systems, the H-3000 detector can be swapped out without turning the system’s power off for a much faster, more efficient way of performing many different types of form inspections.
Dual Measurement, Single Setup. Done.
FORMTRACER Avant H-3000: Operate Smarter, Measure Sharper
When it comes to detail and functionality, the FORMTRACER Avant H-3000 innovates form measurement with easier operability, greater accuracy, and more powerful, time-saving functions and features.
Got questions? Let’s make precision simple.
Purpose-Built. Feature-Rich. Proven Performance.
Remarkably Improved Workability
The drive unit inclines up to ±45˚to easily measure inclined surfaces without using a jig; optional detector head can be changed without turning the power off as well, saving even more time.
Improved Stylus Speed
The retraction speed of the stylus is approx. 2x to 3x faster than conventional models, while the stylus speed for contact has been slowed in consideration of measurement safety.
Unprecedented Accuracy
A newly developed arc scale helps the FTA-H3000 obtain even better precision and accuracy.
High Efficiency
The addition of the new Hybrid detector allows for contour and roughness measurements in one trace.
Improved Design
System incorporates a cable-less design allowing part set-up without concern for obstructions and snagging on unprotected detector cables.
Beyond Normal Measurements
The best-in-class Z-axis measurement range can be increased using optional extra-length styli.
