CMM Probes & SensorsTactile Roughness Sensor HEXAGON

Enabling quick and easy inspections of surface profile within a regular coordinate measuring machine (CMM) program, the PROFILER R miniature roughness sensor offers a more accurate alternative to manual roughness measurements.
Measuring all common roughness parameters, the PROFILER R can be automatically swapped on to several different scanning sensors, adding surface profile inspection to the program without the need for reclamping.

The PROFILER R is a miniature roughness sensor which provides a tactile surface inspection method for Leitz CMMs. Adding more measurement capabilities to the typical measurements and evaluations of the machine, it allows profile inspection to become a standard part of the quality setup, ensuring all the relevant parameters of a workpiece can be checked. Transport and changeover times are reduced, enabling a much more efficient process for quality assurance.
Designed to measure alongside a range of scanning sensors, the PROFILER R has its own clamping system. The unique integration method allows tool exchanges be made automatically using a standard tool changer, and enables very high positioning accuracy and controlled probing without the risk of errors or operator variability associated with manual roughness measurement devices.With the ability to rotate through 360° and pivot by 180° the PROFILER R offers maximum flexibility and accessibility. After the support adaptor touches the workpiece, the measuring stylus is extended and moves along the surface to collect the measurement data, while the PROFILER R itself remains still throughout the measurement.
