Base Calibration
Lasercheck is shipped calibrated to traceable standards for measurement of directional ground and sanded
surfaces. Lasercheck can be calibrated for other surface finishing processes using an Excel spreadsheet
calibration tool provided to generate a machining / surface pattern specific calibration file.
Overview of Calibration Process
Calibration of the Lasercheck gage involves customer testing known surfaces with the Lasercheck.
Lasercheck factory engineers use a custom excel spreadsheet tool to create a calibration file using those
customer test values. Software in the Lasercheck instrument uses the new calibration file when it performs a
measurement to provide users with roughness values calibrated to their finishing process.

Once a calibration is performed, Lasercheck never requires re-calibration for a specific surface finishing process;
calibration never changes.
