The Surtronic range from Taylor Hobson comprises of the handheld Surtronic Duo for checking surface roughness, the Surtronic S-Series which is a portable flexible surface finish measurement system with a touch screen, and the high-speed roundness measurement system the Surtronic R-series. The Surtronic range is easy to use, fast accurate instruments for bearings, automotive, and precision industries.
Surtronic Duo – Surface Roughness Measurement
The Surtronic® Duo II is a 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.
Surtronic S-100 Series – Surface Finish Measurement
The inclusion of a 50 mm stylus lift with right-angle attachment and more than 70 mm stylus reach means that even the most challenging surfaces can be measured without the need for expensive riser blocks, stands, or fixtures.
The anti-slip V-feet also mean the system can be used on flat or curved surfaces. The stylus can even measure upside down!
The pick-up holder is mounted on a slide for vertical adjustment and can also be rotated to different measuring positions, including right-angled measurement.
The standard instrument includes 90-degree operation, 50 millimeters stylus lift mechanism and 70 millimeters reach into bores. The instrument can measure directly on cylinders without the need for fixtures or accessories and can even measure inside cylinders or inverted surfaces.
The new S-100 Series instruments incorporate instant-on technology so that it can be ready to measure within one second of pressing the power or measure button.
Talyprofile Software– Surface Analysis Software
The touch screen software is easy to operate with for shortcut buttons giving instant access to most common functions like filters and scan length while the simple menu structure provides access to a very comprehensive set of features and options including more than 50 surface parameters or selectable by standards 4287 or ASME B 46.1
The screen can also be fixed to operate in any one of four orientations to support measurement in any direction. Designed for connectivity with the USB data storage printing mains outlet and PC charging as well as PC data analysis are all achieved through industry standard. USB connections on the rear of the unit this means there is never a need to buy custom data cards or chargers as all are commonly available. Coupled with the S-Series are TalyProfile and a dedicated software package, designed for use with workshop or laboratory instruments. Ideal for tolerancing, visualizing, and printing.
Surtronic R-series–Roundness Measurement
The Surtronic R-series system is robust enough for the shop floor and accurate enough for any inspection room. Key features are speed: up to three parts per minute including setup. Precision: full ISO compliant measurements can be taken with 50-nanometer spindle accuracy and nanometer-level gauge resolution.Robustness, and serviceability: Suitable for 24/7 operation with many user exchangeable parts.
The innovative touch screen and X-sight software platform with its intuitive navigation make the Surtronic Roundness system as easy to use as any satnav or smartphone. It can measure roundness flatness squareness concentricity and harmonics amongst others and even includes user-programmable apps.
The Surtronic R-series is perfect for industries and applications that require fast and accurate measurements that you can depend upon the affordable Surtronic Range of products that offer the best in measurement accuracy. So, when speed and reliability matter, choose Taylor Hobson.
