MCS 700 spectrometer system during measuring process

Reliable, real-time intelligence Keep a constant eye on your process

ZEISS MCS 700 spectrometers are the ideal system to reliably support your coating process in real time. They feature a continuous bus system up to the measuring head, which means that there’s much less effort when it comes to integration. We also offer a wide variety of interfaces, providing you with a complete solution, configured for a variety of applications.

Foils on rolls

Versatile performance Out of the box, or built to your specifications

The choice is yours: ZEISS MCS 700 spectrometers can either be used with ThinProcess® or customized for your own system together with matching measurement heads using the ZEISS OSIS SDK. Complete solutions can be configured for the widest variety of applications, with MCS 700 as the core element for measuring layer properties in batch and in-line processes.
