Roughness measuring station

Standards-compliant roughness measurements

The fionec RMP surface roughness measuring station is based on a high-precision fiber-optic measuring system for a standards-compliant evaluation of roughness parameters. Whether installed as a stand-alone system or integrated into existing manufacturing processes, the RMP is perfectly adapted to quickly and contactlessly inspecting rotationally symmetrical precision components.

Its unique miniaturized probes with diameters starting from 50 µm can reach even the smallest cavities and micro-drilled holes (down to diameters of 0.1 mm). Automatic signal optimization means the sensor is able to achieve consistent measurement values for heterogeneous, technical surfaces, too.
