Measurement Devices

MiniProfiler With or Without Camera for 2D Surface Analysis

  • Measuring range:  from ± 250 µm up to ± 1000 µm in z-direction
  • Resolution: 20 Bit à with a measuring range of 1000 µm that results to ca. 1 nm (30 nm of noise underlying)
  • Evaluation length: From 1,5 mm up to 70 mm different lengths are possible
  • Rt, Rv, Ry, Ra, Rmr, Rp, Rq, Rz, Rmax, Rk, Rpk, Rvk

Lead Measurement System

  • Analysis according to MBN 31007-7
  • Parameters:
    N -> Number of turns
    α -> Lead angle
    P -> pitch
    S -> period length
    D -> Average lead depth
    Q -> Average feed cross section
  • Analysis of non-homogeneous surface structure or wobble error
