Roughness is an important parameter when trying to find out whether a surface is suitable for a certain purpose. Rough surfaces often wear out more quickly than smoother surfaces.
Rougher surfaces are normally more vulnerable to corrosion and cracks, but they can also aid in adhesion. A CNC Gear Surface roughness tester is used to quickly and accurately determine the surface texture or surface roughness of a material.
A CNC Gear Surface roughness tester shows the measured roughness depth (Rz) as well as the mean roughness value (Ra) in micrometers or microns (µm). Measuring the roughness of a surface involves applying a roughness filter.
Different international standards and surface texture or surface finish specifications recommend the use of different roughness filters. For example, a Gaussian filter often is recommended in ISO standards.
The Global CNC Gear Surface Roughness Tester market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
CNC Gear Handheld Surface Roughness Tester PCE-RT 1200 – The handheld roughness tester is used to determine the surface roughness. The compact surface handheld roughness meter is a handheld device for mobile use.
Due to the power supply via a powerful battery, it can be used directly on site. This handheld surface roughness meter is used in the laboratory, production and generally wherever the roughness of the surfaces is to be determined.
The measured values are displayed on the very clear OLED display directly on the meter. In addition, the handheld roughness meter has a storage option for up to 20 measured values, which can later be read out via the micro USB an interface.
For this purpose, the measurement software can be used, which, as well as the USB cable, is in the delivery. The built-in rechargeable battery is also charged via the micro USB interface.
The already mentioned measurement software is particularly suitable if some series of measurements are available. The data is then transferred to the software and can be evaluated directly on the screen.
The handheld roughness meter has a protective cap for the sensor, which protects it from external influences and can be easily screwed to the device. A calibration plate with roughness standard also belongs to the standard equipment and serves to check the correctness of the measurement results.
In addition there is a very special detail: This instrument works very smooth, with low measurement noise and has a very high reproducibility thanks the “Swiss Made” high precision roughness test mechanism built in the handheld roughness meter by PCE Instruments.
