Optical non-contact measurement systems use advanced imaging, light, and laser technologies to capture precise dimensional and surface data – without physically touching the part.
This approach eliminates the risk of surface damage and allows for rapid, repeatable, and highly accurate inspection of complex geometries.
Systems such as Micro-Vu, Jenoptik, Sensofar, Novacam, and RX Solutions use techniques including optical scanning, interferometry, focus variation, and computed tomography (CT) to generate detailed 2D and 3D representations.
These measurements provide valuable insights for quality control, product validation, and process optimisation across a wide range of materials and industries.Â
Robust, shop floor optical shaft metrology at its simplest, fastest and most accurate.
Affordable, high accuracy, fast measurement. Illumination for measurement of otherwise hard-to-measure shiny parts simple, optional UKAS calibration.
Measuring surface roughness is vital when manufacturing orthopaedic implants – texture ensures that the implant successfully attaches to the bone. 3 in 1 sensor head measures textures and structures across varying surface scales. Optimised for flexibility and is suitable for both research and development (R&D) and quality control (QC) in laboratories.
Full visibility of internal features or components of your parts with this 3D X-ray measurement and analysis system.
Instant non-contact 2D measurement of small shafts, with an option for measuring flat parts.

Optical non-contact measurement uses light, typically through cameras, lasers, or interferometry, to capture precise dimensional, surface, or form data without physically touching the part. This allows highly accurate and repeatable inspection of components, especially those that are soft, delicate, or complex in geometry. At The Sempre Group, we integrate a wide range of optical technologies to suit everything from micro-scale surface topography to large part dimensional verification.
A vision system captures measurement data using light or image-based sensors, while tactile systems rely on a physical probe that contacts the part’s surface. The key difference besides not requiring to physically touch the part is speed and data density. Vision systems can measure thousands of points in seconds, delivering a complete picture of the part’s geometry, whereas tactile methods collect data point by point (not strictly true, most probing system nowadays are scanning touch probes so offer the same high-density scans). Vision-based systems are ideal when you need fast, repeatable, and non-destructive inspection.
The Sempre Group brings together world-leading metrology technologies with expert local support. Our team doesn’t just sell instruments; we deliver complete measurement solutions tailored to your process, your parts, and your business goals. With in-house applications specialists, UKAS-accredited calibration, and decades of experience in quality improvement, Sempre ensures you get the right system, correctly implemented, and fully supported.
By providing rapid, accurate, and objective data, optical measurement enables real-time process control and early detection of defects. This helps manufacturers reduce scrap, improve process capability, and maintain consistent quality standards. From first-article inspection to automated inline verification, optical systems allow continuous improvement and traceability throughout production.
Choosing the right measurement technology starts with understanding your application: the size, material, tolerance, and surface characteristics of your parts, as well as your throughput and automation requirements. Sempre works closely with customers to benchmark different systems and recommend the most suitable solution, whether that’s optical, tactile, or a hybrid approach. Our goal is to ensure you invest in a technology that delivers long-term value and confidence in your measurements.
