As part of its annual programme of technical days, the French College of Metrology, in collaboration with CETIM, proposes a day on a topical and evolving topic: the measurement of surface conditions, a day that will take place on June 5th, in Paris.
Measuring surface conditions is essential to ensure the operation of most mechanical parts. Specifying dimensions is not enough to ensure their function and performance. Their surface condition must also be taken into account. For example, roughness has an impact on the functional properties of adhesion, lubrication, tightening, but also on aesthetic properties of appearance, shine, etc.
The measurement of surface condition is constantly evolving and observes a paradigm shift (1D to 2D) enabled in particular by the democratization of contactless measures.
During the day, the fundamentals and aspects of standardization will be recalled by one of the best French experts in the field: Bertrand Leroy, ISO-GPS Standard and Surface Texture Expert at PSA Groupe and Chairman of the French Standards Commission for Surface States.
The influence of surface condition on functionality, especially friction, will be presented in detail by CETIM's Yanmin Chen.
Next, three machine manufacturers (Mahr, Alicona and Bruker) will present contact and contactless technologies, the instruments that exist today, and their context of use as appropriate. Particular focus will be on chromatic confocal contactless measurement technology (Stil Sensors). Finally, a new technology for measuring by contact gel will be presented by Romain Brault of CETIM.
Registration is open for the day with the CFM at a rate of 390 euros HT. Members of the association receive a 50% discount on this rate.
