Mitutoyo Surftest® SV-3000 Supports Easy Integration of CNC Surface Roughness Testing, and Automation



(Aurora, IL) Mitutoyo America Corporation announces development of Surftest® SV-3000, a new system designed to make it easy to integrate CNC surface roughness measurement into automated material handling and downstream machining and assembly processes.

Mitutoyo Surftest SV-3000 system software supports RS-232C for bi-directional communications between its own PC, and the PLCs of automated material handling systems. As a result, automation of surface roughness testing can be established through interactive control of items such as workpiece loading/unloading/extraction and conveyance devices, limit switches, proximity switches, solenoid valves, status and alarm indication and similar elements.

Typical applications include automated surface roughness testing where multiple measurements and/or conveyance is required, such as for surface roughness measurement of transmission gears and connecting rods or for two-sided surface roughness testing of leadframe hoop irons and similar items.

The Surftest SV-3000 offers available cabinet enclosures with all required safety interlocks and indicators while Mitutoyo FORMTRACEPAK® software supports automatic measurement as well as a variety of analysis and SPC routines.

The Mitutoyo Surftest SV-3000 is compliant with roughness measurement standards of ISO84/97, JIS82/94/01 and to most world standards.
