Accretech attaches particular importance to simple operation of the Surfcom Touch series: for this reason, a single analysis unit with a 7" color touch screen that can be combined with the various models in the series was analyzed.
The entire measurement process - from probe system calibration to printout of measurement data - has been designed to be simple and reliable: not only does this design allow the probe to be calibrated, it also checks the probe tip for wear.
This check is carried out by testing the stylus in calibration mode. Measurement conditions, parameters and other setting conditions can be saved for each part and activated at any time. When the measurement operation is complete, the user receives a graphical representation of the roughness curve or profile on the color screen, and the measurement results are immediately evaluated with I.O or N.I.O. using the predefined parameters.
Measurement results and conditions can be automatically recorded and transmitted to evaluation or statistical software.
Five model types for different measurement tasks
The Surfcom Touch series comprises several models.
The small, portable Surfcom Touch 35/40/45 systems are equipped with skids and are particularly suitable for measuring operations in the production area. They can be transported with an integrated battery and printer from one measuring station to another. The flexibility of these mobile systems is further enhanced by the removability of the various probes, not forgetting the possibility of adjusting the measuring unit on magnetic feet or other supports.
The compact Surfcom Touch 50 is designed for the production and measurement room, and stands out for its high precision: it offers a resolution of up to 0.0001 µm and a measurement range of up to 2000 µm, with a high X-axis guidance accuracy of 0.3 µm and a measurement length of up to 50 mm.
The probing system's wide measuring range enables it to measure not only flat surfaces, but also oblique or inclined surfaces, without the need for time-consuming workpiece adjustments. Measurements of tiny holes or deep bores can be taken using a wide variety of removable probes, which can be installed quickly and easily thanks to the spring-loaded clamping system.
- The Surfcom Touch 550 is the top-of-the-range model in the Surfcom Touch series. This is a semi-automatic surface measurement system with automatic Z and X axis guidance - with the same precision values as the Surfcom Touch 50. A simple push of a button is all it takes to start the measurement program, then the probe moves over the workpiece and generates results based on contact positions. The probe then moves away from the part and evaluates the results. The whole process is automatic. The Surfcom Touch 550 can be configured according to customer requirements. This means that the Z column, granite plate and displacement variable can be adapted as required.
The Surfcom Touch series is compatible with all current international standards such as DIN/ISO, JIS, ASME, CNOMO, as well as all surface parameters for profiles, roughness, corrugations or textures.
The Surfcom Touch series has been available on the European market since September 2018.
