LK Metrology Launches SURFACER SRP: Revolutionizing Surface Roughness Measurement on CMMs
LK Metrology, a UK-based global leader in metrology solutions, has launched the SURFACER SRP, a surface roughness sensor manufactured in Coventry, United Kingdom. This innovative device offers a seamless way to measure surface roughness directly on coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), streamlining inspection processes and enhancing product quality.
The SURFACER SRP boasts a measurable roughness range of 0.5 to 6.5 Ra, making it suitable for a wide array of applications. It communicates wirelessly with the CMM computer via Bluetooth 4.0, ensuring smooth data transfer. The sensor's resolution of one micron allows for precise measurements, crucial for assessing component functionality and interactions in service.
The SURFACER SRP is designed with versatility in mind. It accommodates three interchangeable probe modules, enabling comprehensive inspection of various surface types in a single setup on a CMM. This includes surface roughness analysis, eliminating the need for secondary inspections and reducing both time and cost. An integrated preload mechanism ensures accurate and consistent results, even in the presence of external vibration or machine movement. Compatible with industry-standard Microsoft Surface probe heads, the SURFACER SRP comes with its own downloadable application software for easy operation.
Dave Robinson, LK's Marketing Manager, highlights the benefits of integrating surface roughness measurement onto the CMM. He believes it not only streamlines inspection processes but also reduces costs and enhances product quality.
