Surface geometry and texture measured together

Abstract

A new instrument from Rank Taylor Hobson has met the challenge of measuring accurately both surface texture and conformance to a flat or circular arc profile. Immediate potential is seen in applications by the precision bearings industry for measurement of ball races, bearings, and rollers, and by engineering companies to measure precision spherical and cylindrical components, fillet radii and diamond tipped tools.
