New Mahr Federal Marsurf(TM) XR 20 Brings Affordable, Lab Quality Surface Measurement to the Shop Floor



PROVIDENCE, RI -- The MarSurf(TM) XR 20 is the newest addition to Mahr's modular Perthometer Concept series of surface texture measuring systems. Moderately priced with systems starting at under $20,000, the PC-based XR 20 introduces a new generation of surface measurement options and enhancements, including touch-screen control, which allow lab quality measurements to be performed on the shop floor.

The baseline MarSurf XR 20 system includes a PC, touchscreen monitor, a choice of three drive units and measuring stands, a granite base and touchscreen software. The system software is designed to be operated simply and intuitively via touchscreen controls, by mouse or with keyboard commands. This combination of touchscreen technology and a simple user interface makes the
MarSurf XR 20 optimal for use on the shop floor, where the use of a keyboard or mouse may not be ideal.

A simulation mode allows users to familiarize themselves with the system quickly, and "Teach-In" commands allow the creation of up to 32 "Quick&Easy" measuring programs which can then be saved and launched using programmable function keys. Multiple measurements can be conducted with up to 64 profiles, including statistics. Reporting is also easy using a pre-specified form which includes company logos and a page preview of the measuring record.

The MarSurf XR 20 also incorporates a host of additional features to enhance usability, such as dynamic calibration with PGN (Ra and Rz) and PEN, an automatic function for selecting standard filters and traversing lengths, and the ability to preset maintenance and calibration intervals.

Mahr's Perthometer Concept is a powerful, modular measuring system for measuring surface roughness contours and topography both in laboratories and on shop floors. A variety of pick-up and drive units are connected to the data acquisition board, which is fully integrated with the computer system. The
Perthometer Concept software runs on the Windows® user interface and therefore is easy to understand and compatible with other Windows applications.
