Surface Roughness Probe – Automated surface roughness analysis

Combine surface roughness analysis with CMM measurement

Traditionally, surface roughness analysis relies on hand-held instruments or requires the part moving to a specialist instrument. SURFACER SRP transforms this process by integrating surface roughness analysis into your CMM measurement, allowing you to seamlessly switch between touch probe and surface roughness probe in a single setup.

Enhance the capability of your CMM with automated surface roughness analysis

SURFACER SRP is a plug-and-play surface roughness probe designed for any CMM with a compatible industry-standard probe head, and requires no additional third-party hardware or software. The probe is powered through the CMM probe head autojoint, while a Bluetooth adapter enables wireless communication with the CMM computer. The SRP mounting is fully compatible with probe heads and change racks that support the Renishaw autojoint for automated changing.

Skidded Measurement

SRP features a probe body with interchangeable skidded stainless-steel probe modules.

During measurement, the skid guides the stylus across the surface, acting as a straight line datum and ensuring the probe remains stable. The stylus moves independently of the skid, with surface deviations recorded as the difference between the stylus and the skid movement in a Z direction. An integrated preload mechanism isolates the stylus from any CMM movement during measurement, ensuring accurate and consistent results.
