Increased Flexibility for Roughness Measurement Applications



Mahr Inc., a provider of dimensional metrology solutions, has announced the addition of the MarSurf GD series for roughness measurements to its new line of surface measuring instruments. "MarSurf GD series measuring stations are designed to provide enhanced levels of speed, flexibility and intelligent ease of use, allowing users to improve the manufacturing quality of workpieces with faster throughput and higher accuracy for a broad range of applications. the new MarSurf GD series enable profile and waviness evaluations to be carried out in addition to surface roughness evaluations," said a company spokesperson.

"The MarSurf GD series significantly increases the speed of all moving axes to reduce the cycle time of the measurement process, allowing more throughput, which is particularly valuable when used directly in the production environment," said the spokesperson. "The drive units of the MarSurf GD series move the probe with positioning speeds of up to 200 mm/s, making the systems up to 40 times faster than predecessors. All Z-axis columns on the measuring stands of the MarSurf GD series are fully CNC-capable with fast positioning speeds of 50 mm/s, which is up to five times faster than standard Z-axes."

"The MarSurf GD series also offers enhanced flexibility with available sizes of 140 mm and an industry-first 280 mm," said the spokesperson. "The 280 mm measuring station allows for the measurement of applications that were previously impossible, including larger parts or a series of smaller parts staged together-all on the same machine."

All MarSurf GD series products are equipped with intelligent MarWin Easy Roughness software for ease of use. Many operations can be performed right out of the box, such as creating instructional UIs to guide a user through all the steps of a specific measurement.

The GD Series features a large mounting plate with 50 mm bore pattern, 60 mm Y adjustment and Z-axis of 350 mm or 600 mm. Available with standard probe arm lengths up to 135 mm (3x length) for measuring ranges up 1.5 mm vertically, these instruments also are capable of measuring contour features such as radius, angle or depth within that range. All probe arms feature a quick-change magnetic mount to allow fast changeover time, as well as extra security allowing the probe to "break away" in the event of an accidental collision-protecting both the probe and the system. The GD series also includes an integrated turret to rotate the probe to 90° for transverse measurement and the ability to rotate the probe system 180° to allow "upside down" measurement.
