PORTABLE SURFACE ROUGHNESS TESTER

Bulletin No. 2141(2)

 The Surftest SJ-310 is a compact, portable, easy-to-use surface
roughness measurement instrument equipped with extensive
measurement and analysis features.

Easy to use Enhanced power for making measurements on site

measurement results on the spot.

Highly functional
Internal memory
Up to 10 measurement conditions and one measured
profile can be stored in the internal memory.
Optional memory card
The optional memory card can be used as an
extended memory to store large quantities of
measured profiles and conditions and adds the
convenience of automatically saving data from
the 10 most recent measurements (Trace 10).
Password protection
Access to each feature can be password-protected,
which prevents unintended operations and allows
protection of your settings.
Multilingual support
The display interface supports 16 languages, which
can be freely switched.
Stylus alarm (patent pending in Japan, U.S.A., EU)
An alarm warns you when the cumulative
measurement distance exceeds a preset limit.

Extensive analysis and display features

Complies with many industry standards
The Surftest SJ-310 complies with the following
standards: JIS (JIS-B0601-2001, JIS-B0601-1994, JIS
B0601-1982), VDA, ISO-1997, and ANSI.
Displays assessed profiles and graphical data
In addition to calculation results, the Surftest SJ-310
can display sectional calculation results and assessed
profiles, load curves, and amplitude distribution curves.

 User friendly, high-functionality display unit with integrated high-speed printer
The large 5.7-inch color graphic touch-screen LCD provides excellent readability. Furthermore, selecting icons from the touch panel display*1
provides intuitive and easy operation. The integrated high-speed printer also allows the user to perform the entire process from making
measurements to printing the results with the push of a single button (START button). *1 Text display can also be selected.
