Taylor Hobson Surtronic Duo Surface Roughness Tester

The Taylor Hobson Surtronic Duo Surface Roughness Tester measures multiple roughness parameters with just one button click. The Surtronic Duo measures roughness parameters such as Ra, Rz, Rp, Rv and Rt are 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 in almost any environment and surface. The Surtronic Duo comes with some useful features including Bluetooth technology, profile graph, and separability. The Bluetooth technology provides reliable communication between the traverse and display/control units. The profile graph excels in visually identifying defects while the duo's ability to separate through its slide and lock mechanism offers versatility.

The Taylor Hobson Surtronic Duo Surface Roughness Tester also comes with a hard-wearing diamond stylus. The stylus is drawn across the part with a precision motorized traverse mechanism to ensure that the correct horizontal distance is travelled. Vertical movement of the stylus is detected by a high quality piezo-electric pick-up as it travels across peaks and valleys which converts mechanical movement into electrical signals. The electrical signal is digitized and sent to a microprocessor for instant calculation of surface parameters using standardized algorithms. The Taylor Hobson Surtronic Duo has a mini USB port that can be used for charging with the included mains charger as well as any standard USB charger.
