ZYGO TO SHOWCASE LEADERSHIP IN 3D OPTICAL METROLOGY WITH QUALIFIRE® AT SPACE TECH EXPO EUROPE 2025
(Middlefield, CT, USA - November 5th, 2025) Zygo™ (a business unit of AMETEK®, Inc. [NYSE: AME] and a recognized global leader in 3D optical metrology solutions, optical profilers, and laser interferometers, is pleased to announce its participation at Space Tech Expo Europe 2025, taking place 18-20 November in Bremen, Germany. Exhibiting on Booth V11 alongside AMETEK EIP, Zygo will highlight its market-leading role in precision measurement, with a special focus on the groundbreaking Qualifire® Laser Interferometer.
As the largest B2B space event in Europe, Space Tech Expo is the ideal platform for Zygo to showcase technologies that enable the design, qualification, and deployment of optical systems critical to the success of modern space missions. For decades, Zygo's 3D optical profilers and laser interferometers have been trusted by leading aerospace and space organizations for their unmatched precision, non-contact measurement capability, and repeatability across research and production environments.
One of Zygo's latest innovation, the Qualifire laser interferometer, represents a major step forward in surface form metrology. Building on over 50 years of leadership in phase-shifting interferometry, Qualifire introduces a suite of new features designed to solve long-standing challenges in high-precision optical testing.
Key innovations include:
• Flying Spot™ Coherent Artifact Reduction - removing coherent noise and artifacts for clearer, more accurate measurements.
• Plano Cavity Autofocus - enabling ultra-precise, phase-based focusing on specular flat and spherical surfaces without operator intervention.
• Stable Zoom - maintaining alignment and fidelity from 1X to 3X magnification, with diffraction-limited performance.
• Smart Accessories - reducing setup time and ensuring repeatable, traceable results.
With these advances, Qualifire provides users in aerospace, defense, and space sectors with a new level of confidence in their measurement data, ensuring that mission-critical optics meet the strictest performance criteria.
Zygo's European Sales Manager says, "The space industry demands measurement solutions that combine the highest levels of accuracy with reliability and ease of use. Qualifire delivers exactly that. It's the latest evolution of Zygo's decades-long leadership in interferometry, and it reflects our commitment to giving customers the tools they need to master their most complex optical challenges."
Visitors to Booth V11 will be able to engage directly with Zygo experts and see how Zygo's 3D optical profilers, interferometers, and optics are shaping the future of space technology. Live demonstrations of Qualifire will show how Zygo continues to set new standards in precision metrology for applications ranging from satellite optics to advanced instrumentation.
