One Machine, Two Critical Measurements

Manufacturers constantly seek ways to streamline their quality control (QC) process without sacrificing accuracy. The FORMTRACER Avant delivers a powerful solution. This cutting-edge hybrid system measures both surface roughness and contour features using a single platform. You eliminate the need for two separate instruments, immediately saving space, setup time, and capital investment.

This innovative design significantly improves efficiency. You simply exchange the detector to switch between contour and roughness analysis. The system recognizes the detector automatically, minimizing user error and maximizing workflow speed. This rapid conversion capability ensures you analyze complex parts faster than ever before.

High-Speed Performance Defines the Avant Series

Time is money in modern production environments. The FORMTRACER Avant boasts best-in-class drive speed. The X-axis (drive unit) moves at up to $80\text{ mm/s}$, and the Z2-axis (column) moves at $30\text{ mm/s}$. The instrument drastically reduces the total measurement time. Mitutoyo also minimized the positioning distance before data acquisition to an industry-leading $0.05\text{ mm}$. This enables precise, quick analysis of edges and narrow features where measurement access is often difficult.

The Avant offers a cable-less design and an X-axis inclinable drive unit (±45∘ range). This eliminates the need for complex, time-consuming jigs for inclined surfaces. You achieve superior operability and maximize productivity for every single workpiece.

The FORMTRACER Avant uses precision arc scale technology for direct reading of the stylus trajectory. This ensures high accuracy across a wide range, delivering reliable data for complex components like gears, screw threads, and tablet molds.
