The roughness testers are electronic precision instruments used to measure and quantify the surface roughness of a material after machining. They operate by detecting the micro-peaks and valleys of the surface via a fine diamond stylus, converting the physical movement into digital data.
Measurement Parameters: They calculate critical values such as Ra (average roughness), Rz and Rq, in accordance with international ISO standards.
Applications: Essential in the automotive industry, aerospace, and precision machining to ensure correct lubrication and friction of components.
Features: They are available as portable units for in-line production inspection and benchtop units for laboratory analysis, offering the ability to export statistical reports.
