1.2 Measurement principle
When measuring roughness of part surface, the pickup is placed on the surface of the part and
then tracing the surface at constant rate. The pickup acquires the surface roughness by the sharp
stylus in pickup. The roughness causes displacement of pickup which results in change of inductive
value of induction coils thus generate analogue signal which is in proportion to surface roughness at
output end of phase-sensitive rectifier. This signal enters data collection system after amplification
and level conversion. After that, those collected data are processed with digital filtering and
parameter calculati on by DSP chip and the measu ring result can be r ead on OLED, printed through
printer and communicated with PC.

Before measuring instrument, usually required
calibration use standard calibration Block. The
instrument is configured with a standard
calibration block, before measurement,
instruments to test the block. Under normal
circumstances, when the measured value and the
block value of the difference in the acceptable
range, the measurement value is valid, can be
measured directly.
If the measured value and the block value of th e
difference is greater than a accuracy error range of
the instrument, or the user require high accuracy,
can be used to correct the indication calibration
function and improve measurement accuracy.
Showing the value of the calibration procedure as
shown.
Illustration is based on a model calibrated 1.63µm
steps to calibrate the model for the actual
calibration of the nominal value of the set value.
1、 Under normal circumst ances, the instrument in the factory have been rigorousl y tested,
showing error is much less than ± 10%, in this case, the user is not showing the value
of the calibration frequently used functions.
2、 After setting the calibration value, you must press the key for a full

3.2 Measurement Stand
Extending Rod
Sensor
Measurement Stand can adjust the positions between tester and measured part conveniently
with flexible and stable operation and wider application range. Roughness of complex shapes can
also be measured. Meas urement stand enable the adjustment of the position of stylus to be more
precise and measu rem ent to be more stable. If Ra val ue o f me as ured surface is relatively low, Using
measurement platform is recommended.
3.3 Extending Rod
Extending rod increases the depth for pickup to enter the part. Length of extending rod is
50mm.
3.4 Standard Sensor
The standard sensor can measure most types of the plane like inclined plane, cone surface,
inner hole, groove and other surface roughness. The device can be used for hand-held measurement
only in additi on to the standard sensor. Other special sensors are needed to measure the me asuring
platform.
