Perthometer S2 Surface Measurement System

The Perthometer S2 portable surface measurement system is designed to provide mobile measurement accuracy of roughness/waviness profile depth under the current DIN, EN, ISO 3274, JIS and ASME B46 standards. The system contains statistical functions for 200 measurements and 10 parameters for every measurement program.

This flexible tool can be used either for lab or production inspection tasks. Up to 100 measurements can be executed on a single charge. It can also be mounted directly to the machine tool for dedicated high-volume inspection. An RS232 is provided for electronic data collection or process control.

The system incorporates all the parameters and characteristic curves, as well as the profile band pass filter described in the latest ISO surface texture standards. There are 41 different parameters for surface texture, including the full set Rk class for the automotive industry. A new arc elimination function simplifies precision measurement of curved surfaces such as ball bearings and races, shaft, and bore holes.

The system is shipped with a choice of interchangeable drive units and comes with a PCMCIA slot. Other features include tolerance monitoring, autosetting of standard DIN filters and tracing lengths, automatic part contacting, non-contact measurement, English/metric units, automatic dynamic calibration, and password protection.
