was pleased to host Congresswoman Debbie Dingell and provide her a tour
of our facilities. Representative Dingell learned first-hand how k-Space
metrology tools support critical manufacturing advances, including
growing the semiconductor and solar panel industries in America.
k‑Space CEO Darryl Barlett led the tour, and said “we are
very thankful for her visit and appreciate her energy and support of
Michigan-made technology businesses.”

k-Space
glass metrology tools combine state-of-the-art light sources, lasers,
optics, and detectors, coupled with advanced software algorithms and
machine learning to measure and analyze a variety of signals and
features.
Glass Magazine asked k-Space for
guidance on the pressing QC challenges facing glass manufacturers,
especially as they seek to develop new products and increase
output.
These
challenges include:
1.
Glass breakage and defect detection
2.
Edge inspections
3.
Color calibration
4.
Film and coating thickness
5.

Now Sells Direct In Europe
|
|
kSA MOS ThermalScan, one of
the many thin-film metrology tools k-Space offers around the world.
|
|
k-Space
has historically relied on distributors to sell our products outside the
US. Going forward, we will sell direct to customers in Europe. Customers
in Europe can now contact k-Space directly, at any time,
and together we will determine the optimal metrology solution for your
unique measurement challenge. Note: OEMs that integrate k-Space tools
into their systems will continue to sell our products via their sales
channels.
We want to again thank Richard Thomson and his team at RTA
Instruments for helping grow our customer base throughout Europe. Richard
closed RTA at the end of 2023, retiring after more than 20 years of
successful thin-film metrology sales.
