Roundness Tester Added to Measurement Instrument Line



Mitutoyo America Corporation has released its RA-1600M Roundness Tester as an addition to its line of roundness measurement instruments. The RA-1600M is a PC-based roundness and cylindrical-form measuring system with numerous analysis features including perpendicularity, coaxiality and concentricity, allowing inspection of a wide variety of manufactured parts. "The system has top-end precision and a high rotational accuracy of (0.03+6H/10000) um not commonly found in entry and mid-range models," said a company spokesperson. "This instrument will provide value and performance to any quality lab or in-line production inspection area."

Additional features include the following:

  • Mechanical micrometer heads on the alignment table for quick and easy centering and leveling of workpieces
  • An optional sliding detector-unit holder for larger diameter parts
  • A collision prevention feature in the detector designed to recognize accidental stylus touches and stop the system to avoid a contact error that could result in downtime and repair costs.

The RA-1600M utilizes Mitutoyo's ROUNDPAK data analysis. According to the company, ROUNDPAK supports easy-to-create part programming and can generate reports in a variety of customizable formats. The software evaluates a variety of parameters and conforms to current ISO/JIS standards. "Optional product accessories are available to ensure best fit and performance for inspection applications," said the spokesperson.
