LK Metrology (New Hudson, MI), has announced the introduction of the SURFACER SRP. It is a plug-and-play probe having a resolution of one micron for seamlessly analyzing the roughness of the surface of a component as part of a CNC measuring cycle on any CMM, provided it has an industry-standard probe head.
The sensor eliminates the need for secondary surface roughness inspection, either manually using a hand-held instrument or automatically at a separate metrology station. Manufacturers are able to conduct comprehensive inspection on a component in a single setup in a CMM environment, resulting in significant savings in time and cost. Engineered for ease of use and versatility, the equipment comes with its own downloadable application software, facilitating integration and eliminating the need for third-party software.
Effortless swapping between touch probes, tactile scanning probes, non-contact laser scanners and the roughness probe gives users extended multi-sensor capability. The SURFACER SRP mounting is compatible with change racks, including the new versions introduced recently by LK, enabling automated sensor changing and enhanced operational efficiency.
