Mitutoyo has introduced the new SURFTEST PROBE and SURFPAK-SP software, allowing surface roughness analysis on a Mitutoyo CNC CMM and eliminating the need for workpiece changeover to a second measurement device.
An auto-joint probe system allows probe changing automatically between touch trigger and/or scanning probes with the Mitutoyo SURFTEST PROBE, combining dimensional evaluation and surface finish analysis in a single operation. A PH10M or 10MQ articulating probe head allows access to features requiring rotation for surface roughness measurement.
The SURFTEST PROBE utilizes two well developed software packages integrated to provide a comprehensive solution. The modular design of Mitutoyo MCOSMOS coordinate measurement software, allows seamless integration of SURFPAK-SP software to perform surface roughness analysis while the Geopak module of MCOSMOS controls the SURFTEST PROBE movement and calibration functions.
Available detectors include: standard-type, deep groove, small hole, extra small hole and gear tooth surface. The CMM SURFTEST PROBE has multiple measurement ranges, and speeds.
