profilometer

To follow the prescribed methodology, this type of Profilometer is often required.

Profilometer: this method is the most common surface measurement technique.

The most common method is to use a diamond stylus profilometer.

The Profilometer records road geometry and condition while driving at highway speed.

A profilometer can measure small surface variations in vertical stylus displacement as a function of position.

Parts 601 and 701 describe the contact profilometer, using a diamond point to measure the surface with the assistance of a lateral scanning device.

Profilometer is a measuring instrument used to measure a surface's profile, in order to quantify its roughness.

A typical profilometer can measure small vertical features ranging in height from 10 nanometres to 1 millimetre.

Mounted on each side of the car was a profilometer, a laser-scanning device that resembles a mutant bike rack.

Part 602 describes this type of non-contact profilometer, incorporating a single point white light chromatic confocal sensor.

Surface roughness is measured with a profilometer, an instrument that measures the minute variations in height of the surface of a workpiece.

An optical profilometer is a non-contact method for providing much of the same information as a stylus based profilometer.

In 1992, Digital Surf had a first deal to sell the surface analysis software of its profilometers through another profilometer manufacturer, the company Taylor-Hobson.

Each of these locations was sandblasted for 5 s. Inner surface roughness The inside of each coping was scanned with the profilometer.

These techniques in the PCB industry are referred to as laser triangulation and phase shift profilometry (via a Profilometer) respectively.

Stylus profilometer (mechanical profilometer)

Another type of profilometer is for measuring the surface texture of a road and how it relates to the coefficient of friction and thus to skid resistance.

Other profilometer manufacturers started to promote it, such as Hommel-Etamic (Jenoptik Group) or KLA-Tencor.

A furrow profilometer is used for the measurement of the cross-sectional geometry of furrows and corrugations, and is important in furrow assessments.

The disadvantage of a profilometer is that it is not accurate when the size of the features of the surface are close to the same size as the stylus.

One such machine is the road surface profilometer, which is mounted on a vehicle and measures the profile of the road surface while it is moving down the roadway.

The data collected by a profilometer is used to calculate the International Roughness Index (IRI) which is expressed in units of inches/mile or mm/m.

Individual scales located on the horizontal rod of the profilometer provide data to plot furrow depth as a function of the lateral distance and the data can be numerically integrated.

To verify the surface roughness values, the finished die surfaces were recorded with a profilometer (Federal Surfanalyzer System 5000, Federal Products Co, Providence, RI).

MountainsMap is mainly offered as embedded or optional OEM analysis software by most profilometer and microscope manufacturers, usually under their respective brands ; it is sold for instance as :
