Michigan Metrology will be hosting a surface metrology and tribology short course on April 11-12, 2019.
Michigan Metrology's Don Cohen, PhD, will be leading the two-day short course in Livonia, MI. "Dr. Cohen is one of the country's foremost experts in surface roughness and its effects," said a company spokesperson. The course's topics will include:
- Roughness, waviness and form
- Instruments for measuring texture
- Filtering surface texture measurements
- Surface texture parameters
- Wear
- Friction
- Sealing
- Surface energy
- Data analysis
- Specifying surface texture.
The workshop is designed for scientists, engineers and technicians working in the fields of automotive, aerospace, materials, polymers and others.
In 1994, Dr. Cohen established Michigan Metrology to help engineers and scientists solve problems related to "Squeaks, leaks, friction, wear, appearance, adhesion and other issues," using 3D Surface MicroTexture Measurement and Analysis.
Prior to forming Michigan Metrology, Dr. Cohen was vice president of engineering at WYKO Corporation (now part of Bruker Corporation), developing surface metrology instrumentation. He served as vice chairman/chairman of the ANSI/ASME B46.1 Surface Texture Standards committee from 2000-2011 and is past chairman of the STLE-Detroit section. He holds a bachelor's and master's in physics and a Ph.D. in optical sciences.
Since 1994 Michigan Metrology has been providing high-volume inspection services and solving problems related to surface roughness, wear, texture, finish, flatness and more. "Using advanced 3-D surface roughness measurement and analysis techniques, state-of-the-art equipment and expert understanding of 3-D surface metrology, the company has helped clients with solutions for surface development, manufacturing process issues and product warranty concerns," said the spokesperson.
