Schmitt Europe Ltd are proud to announce the launch of its new Lasercheck® Surface Roughness Measurement Gauges. These products are designed to perform high speed, accurate, non-contact measurements of surface roughness on a large variety of manufactured, machined and engineered parts. Lasercheck® works on any material including metals, ceramics, glass and rubber and is suited to ground, sanded, polished, honed, super-finished, fine-turned or even shot blasted surface finishes.
These gauges are specifically designed for portable or on-line use in production and manufacturing environments. Patented light scatter detection technology provides superior durability, measurement speed (less than 1 second) and repeatability without high maintenance and re-calibration costs. Operators on the production floor can use Lasercheck® to easily and quickly monitor surface finish quality without concern for damaging other fragile measurement equipment or surfaces.
Measurements can be performed by manual pushbutton operation, or continuous high speed measurements controlled by Windows software, or fully automated high speed on-line measurements triggered by external signals and Windows software, displaying real time Ra values in graphical and numeric format with statistical parameters.
Lasercheck® has been designed for a nominal height standoff of ~ 2.5 mm from the measurement surface in which, any motion or vibration is continuously monitored and corrected for during every measurement cycle to ensure accurate results. The Lasercheck® “Micro 8826” Head measures ~2.5 x 1.9 x 5.1 cm with a surface roughness measurement range of 0.025 to 2.0 mm and the Lasercheck® “Mini 6212” Head measures ~7.5 x 3.5 x 4.4 cm with a surface roughness measurement range of 0.0125 to 2.0 mm. Three controllers are available. The Automated “A” Controller is a stand alone unit capable of 10 measurements per second, the Portable “B” Controller a hand held unit capable of storing up to 10,000 Ra values and an OEM Card “C” Controller for mounting in the customer’s own electronics panel.
