New features and software make the FTA-C3000 one of the fastest contour measurement machines in its class with the ability to easily upgrade the machine and make surface roughness measurements as well.

Features & Benefits
The Mitutoyo Formtracer Avant C3000 Series Contracer boasts best-in-class drive speed for the drive unit and column axis along with a quick stroke return speed for much faster measurements. The single-sided stylus completes one-sided and bottom measurements with high accuracy, and the X-axis drive has a range of ±45° to quickly and efficiently measure inclinations without the need to adjust the measuring force. The contour detector head can be easily swapped out with an optional surface roughness detector, making the Formtracer Avant C3000 highly versatile and powerful.
- Mounting an arm onto the Z1-axis contour detector with a magnet-type attachment system further improves measurement efficiency
- Hot swapping allows switching between the contour detector and optional roughness detector without powering the machine off
- The tool-less replacement mechanism uses a thumb-turn clamp for much faster switching between detectors
- Stylus drop detection feature detects any sudden drop of the stylus and stops the measurement operation
- Collision monitoring for the magnet arm and detector cover ensures safe measurements even during high-speed movements
- Optional accessories for automatic measurement automate processes from the setup to the measurement
