Metal Surface Roughness Profiler

The metal surface roughness tester uses a stylus to trace across the surface, recording contour fluctuation data to calculate parameters such as Ra and Rz. It is used to assess the quality of metal processing and ensure fitting precision in mechanical manufacturing and automotive parts inspection.
Selection
When selecting, consider that the measurement range should cover the sample roughness, the accuracy should meet the process requirements, and the probe material should be compatible with the measured surface. Portable devices are suitable for on-site inspections, while fixed ones are used in laboratories. Pay attention to standard compliance and ensure that the data output interface is compatible with the existing system.
