SR160 OVERVIEW
WHAT IT DOES
The SR160 is a superior portable surface roughness tester that measures
multiple roughness parameters with a 1-button click. Roughness
measurement parameters such as Ra, Rz, Rp, Rv and Rt are displayed
on a brightly lit intuitive 2.4" LCD color display. Its rechargeable battery
operation makes it a convenient way of performing fast, easy and precise
on-the-spot measurements in almost any environment and surface.
HOW IT DOES IT
The hard-wearing diamond stylus is drawn across the part with a
precision motorized traverse mechanism to ensure that the correct
horizontal distance is travelled. Vertical movement of the stylus is
detected by a high quality piezo-electric pick-up as it travels across
peaks and valleys which converts mechanical movement into electrical
signals. The electrical signal is digitized and sent to a microprocessor for
instant calculation of surface parameters using standardized algorithms.
UKAS CALIBRATION AND TESTING
The mini USB port can be used for charging with the included mains
charger (or with any standard USB charger).
