Intelligent Stylus Roughness Tester with Smartphone App

TIME®3226

The TIME^®3226 is an intelligent stylus roughness tester that is used in combination with a smartphone app and is suitable for production workshops, laboratories, inspection rooms and other environments. It measures the surface roughness of a wide variety of machined workpieces, calculates the corresponding parameters according to the selected measuring conditions, and clearly displays measured values and profile graphs on the smartphone.

Measurement principle

During the measuring process, the sensor is moved linearly along the traversing length. The stylus follows the profile of the traversing length, moving up and down. These movements are converted into electrical signals, which are then amplified, filtered, and converted into digital values using an A/D converter. A mathematical representation of the profile is generated from these values using a microprocessor. Based on this representation, the Ra and Rz values (or Rq and Rt values) are calculated according to the relevant standards and transmitted via Bluetooth to the smartphone app, where they are displayed together with the profile graphs.
